By contrast, the year from hell might be:

January 2008
December 2012

Jan 2008:
Mean = 7.4°C
Rain = 78 mm
Sunshine = 68 hours

Dec 2012:
Mean = 6.8°C
Rain = 168 mm
Sunshine = 83 hours

Hell?

Jan 2008 was one of the softest, most pleasant Januaries I've ever
known. And the sunshine levels were OK too.

OK Dec 2012 was a bit wet but with over 80 hours of sunshine, you cannot
moan man.

I don't know what it was like where you are but hell? Are you mad?
