December Mean max 9.0 (+2.1) Mean min 2.7 (+0.3) Overall mean 5.9 (+1.2) Rain 88.0mm (155.8%), wettest day 23rd with 24.1mm - the wettest December day since 1995 Thunder on 19th evening Annual 2013 Mean max 13.6 (-0.4) Mean min 6.5 (-0.4) Overall Mean 10.0 (-0.4) Rainfall 674.3mm (100%) Snowfall on 35days, 22 days with snow lying, max depth 16cm on 21st Jan Thunder on 15 days -- George formerly of Epping, west Essex, 350'asl www.eppingweather.co.uk www.winter1947.co.uk |

Hope the move went well because it can be a bit traumatic at the best of times. I hope you will get something set up in Edinburgh - it would be a useful contrast. I don't know how Ron and Scott will manage without you as a reference point for all things weather. Best wishes, Dave |

Yes, I'm still looking for a reference for sun hours. Perhaps a crowd funding appeal. I'm afraid that there's many things further up the queue than an R&D instromet sunshine recorder to add to my station :/ Yes, sunshine recording per se seems to be a minority activity at amateur weather stations. When I was at Epping one of the nearest locally was Richard Barker's site at Royston but he he has now moved to Little Paxton - and still records sunshine. -- George in Edinburgh but formerly of Eppingl www.eppingweather.co.uk www.winter1947.co.uk |

I don't know how Ron and Scott will manage without you as a reference point for all things weather. Best wishes, Dave After 38 years in the same house it was indeed quite a move but we all coped, including the cat. At the moment I have a setup using real thermometers in the screen and a standard rain gauge all read at 0900. Apart from snow in the first couple of days it's been mild here and very windy. The Pentland Hills (northern edge of Southern Uplands), a mile to the south, produce wave with southerlies and I suspect, at just short of 600' asl we are close to one of the first downwind 'bounces' or rotors. Recent days have shown impressive orographic wave bars on the sat pics and for real when the skies are clearer. I'm also impressed with local knowledge of matters meteorological with two people talking about 'microclimate' and 'katabatic winds'. I have observed many roofers vans in this area. I also acquired an impressive array of snow clearing equipment with the house. -- George in south Edinburgh 575'asl www.eppingweather.co.uk www.winter1947.co.uk |

Unsurprising - how many of them would even have the necessary clear skyline? -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham |
