* Soft hail falling before/along with snow is not counted is as 'hail' here;
only hail falling during thunderstorms is counted in. Temperature and
rainfall comparisons are to the 1961-1990 eLTAs. Yes, I should calculate the
eLTAs for 1971-2000, I know The rest comparisons are to the
12/1991-12/2003 period, for which data is available.

Wonderful climate you have Yannis.
How I long for one of those tropical days here.
All the best for 2005
Alex.
