Its been 10c+ most days this winter here! and the number of nights below 0c you can count on the fingers of one hand.


Very mild winter!

Also would seem more have seen then those who haven't seen.... So it's not really a "down south" thing.

Hey Nick, I am not sure if the above post is meant to wind us up but it's the first time I have heard Cumbria and Co Durham described as desolate!

With Cities like Carlisle and Durham both counties of significant centres of population.

It seems some southerners like to demonstrate their ignorance and the poor grammar in the post indicates this also.

Back on topic, another cold day here with rain and snow and a maximum in the usual 4c to 6c range.

At least tonight Paul Crabtree should get a frost.

I suppose though seeing that the York Moors are a cold spot it should be of no surprise. Regards to the Oxford one a couple weeks of chilly weather in late January early February is hardly noteworthy.
I'm not sure where you have gotten the rest from? I'm assuming from the those who don't have their locations.

So no I'm not on a wind up!

If I was on a wind up I'd point out that Carlisle is a little town, and half it's population could fit in one of the greatest football stadiums ever - St James Park :-))

It appears the country is very divided,temperature wise this winter.


The midlands northward much colder than southern most counties where it has been v mild.


It did at first strike me as an odd thread as down south has seen 10c+ most days but a different winter further north so maybe this thread only applies to those living north of the m4.


The coldest minimum here in Wareham has been -2.3c all winter and the average temperature has flatlined at 7.5c since mid november to date.


Today we have had 11.3c and it has felt very springlike in the sunshine

Here in heavily populated and urban West Yorkshire the last time we had a 10c plus was 14th December with a 9.8c about a week later. Since Xmas only a couple of 8's and 9's with most days 4c to 7c.
So considering the Atlantic spell, absense of cold synoptics the lack of high temperatures has been remarkable.

Still not sure you've addressed the fact that there are at least 3 places mentioned in this thread that aren't found in the places you focused on.

Anyway, out of interest, I actually recorded a higher max temperature in December 2010 than I've done all this year.  From a rather densely poluated area of Cumbria.

Yesterday, and several other days in the last three months.


What is remarkable is that my 'lowest' max for Dec 1st until today is +5.3


Amazing.

Interesting to see the maximums change as you go further north, great stats from those further north 😁. I always thought the sign of a good winter, cold wise, was how many days you went without reaching 10c. After reading the above reports from Cumbria, Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire and others I think I will have to scrap my foolish guide.......

I always find this site very useful for looking at the nationwide picture re. questions like this.

http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/%7Ebrugge/CURR.html  February data

http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~brugge/PREV.html  January data.

From this it can be seen that the majority of main official WSs across the UK have not seen double figure maxima at any stage this year to date.

My main point was that despite this being a mild winter many areas north of Birmingham have not seen any really Mild weather since before Christmas.

Which ever way you look at it that in itself is remarkable.

Many stations in Northern England and Scotland have seen absolute maximum just 3c above the average maximum, which again is highly unusual.

You only have to look at the record snow cover over the Scottish Highlands to realise that this is a mild winter with a difference.

This is a great thread and confirms my own observations.


I'm just south of Preston nowadays, despite the username, and here this winter has not felt mild at all, with plenty of windchill and lack of sunshine. Today is the first time this year I've had 10C on the car thermometer.


There hasnt been a genuinely mild spell (ie 12-13c+ daytime) at all. The staggering thing is the total absence of a cold spell. One cold week would probably have been enough to haul this winter back to average.


The total opposite of last winter here. Cold JFM. But no serious cold, just consistent cold and a lack of a mild spell.


Dare I say, temperature wise, winters getting more consistent!!

And just hit 10C again (it's 10.1C now).

It's quite remarkable just how different it's been "up north", but down here it really has been a case of autumn giving way to spring, skipping winter entirely.

Now 68 days without 10C which is my 2nd longest spell on record. Only 2009/10 managed a longer spell with 106 days from 25th Nov to 10th March. After that you would probably have to go back to winter 1985/86.

Also the run of 67 days without reaching 9C was ended today with a max of 9.5C. This beat my previous longest spell of 62 days in 2010/11 (from 14th Nov to 14th Jan) and is almost certainly the longest spell since winter 1985/86.
