Assuming it won't rain today, December 2008 has turned out to be my
driest December on record with a total of 13.2mm (24.8%). This narrowly beats 1988 with 14.0mm and 1996 with 14.7mm. Local records from Bob Pritchard show December 1963 with only 14.0mm -- Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net e-mail: kreh at southendweather dot net |

I've just been putting together some of my national surveys for December (and the year), and Shoeburyness was the driest place in the UK with 12mm ... but December 1991 seemed to have been marginally drier there. Incidentally, both Eskdalemuir and Yeovilton passed their August sunshine total in the last couple of days! Philip |

Alan Gardiner Chiswell Green, St Albans 101m ASL 31/12/2008 14:20:41 Annual 2008 It's also been my coolest mean year since 1996, with a mean temperature of 11.1°C compared to 10.2°C in 1996, although 2002 came in at 11.2°C. My highest 12.0°C 2006, followed by 11.9°C 1990. My lowest 9.7°C 1986. Rainfall pretty much average for the year. Sunshine 110% the norm. -- Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net e-mail: kreh at southendweather dot net |

Incidentally, both Eskdalemuir and Yeovilton passed their August
sunshine total in the last couple of days! Didn't quite manage to beat August's sunshine but it was close(ish) in the end. A cloudy day on the 29th and today's mist sort of scuppered things. Anyway, recorded 112.7 hours of lovely sunshine this month which is a very respectable 45% of the total possible amount. Looking back as this year, February, April & June all tied for the highest proportion of sunshine total possible with 47%, whilst January and not August had the least with 26%. Sunshine for 2008 was 1732 hours which is slightly higher than 2007 (1723). ________________ Nick. Otter Valley, Devon 83 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |
