My Comment:

Lets see April colder than the following December. I
think that would be a bit more impressive.

What may be more interesting is Marches that were colder than the
*previous* December, being part of the same season. I have done this for my
own station. Sixteen Marches were warmer, one was the same, and five were
colder. The mean difference March minus December was +1.6°C with a standard
deviation of 2.0°C. Without actually doing any more maths, I would say that
the mean temperature for March is not strongly correlated with that of the
previous December. If it were, the standard deviation would be less. (Records
1983-2004).

I came fairly close in 2000/01 both December and March at 5.4C.

When it rains it pours.

Something went wrong again last night which corrupted the upload to
Weather Underground. I now have a load of rubbish for today (7th) and
WeatherLink says that WU last uploaded on the 23rd April 2004 !!!. I
think I've been here before.

I'm going to have to create a new station again to clear the WU date
on WeatherLink, is anyone using WeatherLink v5.5 and has these WU
problems been resolved now on this version?

Incidentally, I had to do some electrics this afternoon, turned the
power off to then find that the new battery I put in yesterday was
almost dead, as the display just flashed at me. Thankfully nothing
lost after I used an extension lead from another circuit to restore
power to it.

Raining here in Southend at the moment.

I got 4.4C in the March and 4.8C in the December.
The March average max was higher, but the overall average was
dragged down by the mins which were much lower.
