Here is the 7th of November 1938 edition of the Times about that record breaking spell





A vigorous low tracked across the UK on the 23rd of November 1938, bringing severe gales to southern Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales.


An average wind speed of 58mph was recorded at Cardington (Bedfordshire) for over an hour.

A 108mph gust recorded at St Ann's Head
84mph gust at Birmingham

As the low tracked into the North Sea, there was a storm surge in the German Bight region. The southern part of Jutland was particularly hit. The harbours at Esbjerg and Helsingor were flooded.

Followed by a snowy 2nd half to December

November 1994 was 10.1C for it's CET.

When you look at November 1938 - you can see there is some scope for a November CET of possibly 11C or a bit more.
