From Pepys diary of 25th January 1662 (old style)
"A fast day ordered by the Parliament to pray for more seasonable weather it having hitherto been summer weather, that is both as to warmth and every other things just as it were the middle of May or June...."

From John Evelyn's diary

"Great rain had fallen without any frost or seasonable cold, not only in England, but in Sweden and the most northern parts, being here near as warm as at Midsummer in some years..."

I wonder if anyone back then was musing on it being the start of the 'modern winter'?



PS - was Pepys alive 22 Januarys later?

We had Dennis Howell as the minister for drought in 1976 and the minister for snow in 1979


I remember him appealing to the heavens for rain in summer 1976 just before the wettest September in living memory
