I suppose it's a case of they would be wouldn't they. Be interesting to
see if there is any change for lowland England in the last 50 years. I'm
sure it used to be somewhere like Norwich in my old Geography books but
maybe further West these days - the M4 corridor seems to feature quite
regularly.


I'm surprised Buxton isn't on there


Buxton appears to be just inside the 45 to 60 days range (at the lower
end) according to the Met Office regional climate maps so just misses
out on that top 10 list. It would do somewhat better if they limited
the list to real live towns and cities! Tideswell must do quite well,
too.

Fareham doesn't, unless you think 2 to 4 is a lot. Still awaiting my
first air frost of the Winter, here... currently at 2 am +1.4 C and
falling slowly... come ON!
