[WR] S.Essex - mildest day since Boxing Day
Today's max of 8.9C is the highest since Boxing Day. The last maximum in
double figures was December 10th so you could make a case for the cool spell starting then and continuing. So far , rather than remembering this winter for extreme cold, I will remember it for its complete lack of any truly mild spells. Dave www.laindonweather.co.uk |

Good for the garden in the long run, killing off all the viruses and bacteria that can survive in horrible mild winters. I'm looking forward to another good veg and fruit crop again this summer and some nice flowers free from over-wintering pests and diseases. Will -- |

I haven't recorded a temp in double figures since 09/12/2009 and looking at the GFS ensemble it's not going to happen for quite a while. -- Brian Wakem (Fleet) |

Even the very cold winter we're having in the central lowlands has had a few milder days. The long term average winter max here is 6.0șC, which has been exceeded six times since December 10th (five in the second half of January and one today) There's only been 2 days without a groundfrost since December the 7th mind you.

Nick- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I think there's a lot of bo***cks talked about mild winters being bad for gardens etc. One of the main reasons for there being so many gardens in Cornwall (Trewidden http://www.trewiddengarden.co.uk/ , Heligan & the gardens on the Mount http://www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk/get...Itinerary.aspx being 3 of my favourites) is the lack of sustained cold. There are carpets of wild flowers on Bryher & St Agnes in the Spring, despite any frost being a real rarity. (No air frost on Scilly so far this winter, as far as I'm aware). The main threat to wild flowers are herbicides (as well as being eaten by cows, goats, rabbits etc!). A number of farms in Penwith (Land's End peninsula) are now organic, and the positive effect on plant life clear. It's all part of the cold brigades justification for winter, when quite honestly when I'm in power November, December, January & February will be the 1st against the wall, well possibly after Esther Rantzen & Abba tribute bands. Which reminds me http://www.pondlifeska.co.uk/who.htm are really great local band. Graham Penzance (where 18 days have exceeded 10C since 10th Dec (best to finish vaguely on topic) |

Here, there's been only 5 days above 5.0 in the same period, with a max of 6.0 on 22nd Jan. There's good points and bad points about both climates. On the downside here, I haven't been able to get onto the golf course since 12th Dec :-( -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. |
