2011 will end up as a pretty mild year, bearing in mind that the
South at least had a fairly mild Jan and Feb and Autumn was
above average as well.

And of course April was exceptionally warm. As against that, IIRC the
summer months were cooler than average, but even so unless we have
another severe December I think you will be right.

It's rather annoying that in such a mild year, the three months that
were cool were the three summer months!

Incidentally I wonder if this year would come close to setting the
records for most equable April-October period? In a typical southern
England location I'd guess that all of those months had mean maxima in
the approximate range 17-20C, compared to 14-23 in a typical year.
