haven't been any brief northerlies or north westerlies which
usually occur during the odd transitional phase.

I think you might have to go back to 1962-3 to find a winter as
remarkable as this one, for southern England at least. Of course 1962-3
was remarkable in a very different way. I can't remember another winter
with such frequent or (for the most part) deep depressions affecting us.


1989/90?

I don't thing in that winter it kept up quite so unrelentingly for so
long. Mind you, as it was only just over 20 years ago it's a bit recent
for me to remember it clearly.


How about 1994/5. I seem to remember that winter being quoted as the
third wettest that century at the time.
