2018 - Glanton-on-Line Weather

An unremarkable month with temperatures and rainfall running close to the average for the month. There was one very brief snowy interlude mid-month, but this was short lived.

A very typical November; cold, wet and windy. Rainfall for the month was very high at 127 mm compared to the district average of 54 mm.

A wet and relatively windy month with rainfall twice the average for the month. Temperatures were lower than normal with no signs of an "Indian Summer". A very autumnal month.

After the summer heat of the previous months, it was back to normal in August. Temperature was about average, but there were no hot periods, as in previous months.

An interesting month. Rainfall 20% below average but despite the media hype, the temperature was 3 deg C less than the record set in 2006. There have only been 3 UK heatwaves in the last 40 years and as recent warming is now showing signs of decreasing, I think the forecast of heatwaves being the norm is somewhat exagerated. Remember in 2001 when it was forecast that snow in the UK would become a memory in less than 5 years?!

A relatively unremarkable and typical January. Rainfall was about 50% higher than average but temperatures were well within the seasonal norms. The wind made itself felt in the last few days of the month with gusts in excess of 50mph.
