79/79 was an amazing winter ,which came in like a lion the last week of
November when that month looked like it was gonna break the above average
temp by a margin.
Bob Prichard was on Radio London in those days and predicted the cold
onset
very well ,no five day forecasts in those days..........

For some years I have kept a monthly/yearly colour coded table that I
can scroll up and down and try to find similar months for temperature
and rainfall.
The colour coding has blue for temperature 1°C below the average, red,
for 1°C above the average. Rainfall, yellow, 50% below average, green,
50% above average.
I've made some assumptions for October but I have an almost identical
set of 4 months from July through to October as 1978. It would be
intersting if a similar pattern was in areas to the NW of the UK.
But when I then look at the following winter of 1979 ALL three months
January, February & March were below the 1°C average.
This is not a prediction, just an observation, but thought I would
share this with you.
Incidentally, November 1978 was again mild and dry, December was then
average.
