December was one of the coldest since 1890! Here at worcestershireweather.com based in Evesham we recorded 14 ice days [thats when the temperature never got above freezing] The voews [Vale Of Evesham Weather Station]recorded minus 16.3c/3f on the 19th with an exceptionally cold maximum temperature that day of only minus 7.3c/19f. Locally at Pershore the temperature plummeted down to minus 19c/-2f on the 19th! Then there was another Bitterly cold spell over the Xmas period with a very festive scene. Xmas night and Boxing day night saw temperatures plummet down to minus 14.3c/6f , locally colder and Christmas Day itself was bitter with temperatures not getting above minus 6c/21f! Heavy snow fell across a wide area on the 18th but places like Ross on Wye, Malvern and Hereford saw little if any snow that day! Fourteen days of lying snow again locally more! The average daytime temp for this area is 7.7c46f ....recorded 1.6c/35f....Night Time temp Average 2.2c/36f..Recorded Minus 3.6c! The thaw came shortly after Boxing Day ,a "slow" thaw initially but the maximum temperature recorded was surprisingly at the end of the month on the 30th with a tropical 10.2c/50f but river levels remained within the confines of there banks in most cases, so thank goodness no flooding problems! Precipitation, mainly in the form of ice and snow came just about average with 63.8mms although there was a strong deviation across the area. So, A very Memorable Month!
This Guy here, I have a lot of Respect for and he called this Winter the coldest for around 100 years and BINGO, hes right! His name is Piers Corbyn of" Weather Action "and he is an "Astrophysicist" but quite simply his Long range forecasts are astonishingly accurate. His views on Climate Change are a breath of fresh air, anyway take a look at this link with regards to this Winter and much more on You Tube.
