So, are Januarys in the UK more "westerly" than ever before?
Apparently not. Lots to get your teeth into here.

Fascinating. Whilst there are periodic oscillations, it's hard to spot
any long term trends. When did surprise me was that Westerliness seemed
to be at an all-time around the early 1970s, when we were having a run
of mild winters.

Yes, I need to add a line that these ten-year means are plotted on the
last year ... so, for instance, the period 1963-1972 is plotted on 1972.
