Do you have daily max and min for December 95 you could either post
here or email me?

No problem Trevor, all values are in ºC

Hopefully some sort of formatting held out there.

... might help; unfortunately you can't directly relate to 1962/63 as
the series stops in 1960, but you should be able to do an overlap
'buddy-compare' against the Turnhouse record

A very quick skin suggests that January, 1814 was the coldest month.
Interesting to compare severe months in the CET with those in the
Edinburgh record.

I hadn't realised that Wetterzentrale had climate data. It's a very
useful resource. I think the Oxford data is available elsewhere online,
but I don't recall seeing that for Edinburgh or Greenwich before.

The freezing fog that had hung around for days cleared for a time
overnight, rolled back in during the morning - probably the thickest
I've ever known it here with vis down to 15 or even 10 meters. The
maximum pin was at -15.8ºC, but I'd been observing it hourly for most
of the day and never seen it above -17.5ºC.

Walking on our local river was very safe, completely frozen over. A
situation I'll check out tomorrow.
