Default Decadal means

Someone will know the answer to this question; my money would be on Julian Mayes!



Given that the media has begun celebrating the decade 2010-2019, with various awards for best band, artist, book, film etc, I was wondering why those of us in the climatological world stick with 2011-2020, or for 30-year records, 1991-2020?



I'm sure it is down to precedence dating back into the early days of record keeping, but is there any other reason for this, I wonder?



best wishes
