Colder than Christmas - That’s a Joke Isn’t It?


We had a bright sunny start to Monday although it clouded over at lunch time the rain that had been forecast held off until late into the evening.

I couldn't help but notice this headline in the Mail Online. Christmas Day was warmer than the Bank Holiday in May. That must be somewhere odd in the UK it surely hadn’t been like that here. Or had it!!

The table below shows the temperatures I’ve recorded over the last three Bank holidays.
Amazingly it was milder over the Christmas Holidays than both the Easter and May Day holidays.

Remember that forecast about this May being the coldest in the last 100 years. I thought I’d have a look to see how that forecast is looking at the end of the first week in May. Much to my disappointment, because I’d really like some warmer weather, the forecast is pretty close.
The purple line showing this year’s temperatures is far too close to that coldest in 100 years blue line to make the gardener in me happy.
