Welcome to the weather report page. This is based on a garden thermometer and rain gauge in the editor's garden, and so are not scientific measurements.
Annual Summary
A very wet November and December with no fewer than 39 rainy days out of 61, ensured rainfall was significantly (20%) above average. In November alone, more than 6 inches of rain fell. However, this figure masks a very dry Spring, Summer and Autumn. Only 11 inches of rain fell between March and October - 30% below the average. Snow fell on 6 January, and 16-18 December. There were 24 frost days when the temperature dropped below freezing.
Temperatures were a little below average, in spite of the hot summer forecast, caused partly by cold snaps in January, February and December. However November was significantly warmer than usual.
