From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently there\u2019s going to be some yellow snow next week!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what did the winter just gone look like weather wise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with mean temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall it was an unremarkable winter, just 0.1C above the 30-year average, which itself is only 0.6C higher than it was in the 1930s. This winter was 33rd warmest since 1884, in a tie with 1898\/8, 1912\/13 and 1936\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the exceptionally mild winter of 2015\/16, no winter in the past decade has been warmer than earlier winters such as 1974\/5 and 1988\/9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short we have been having relatively mild winters lately because of weather, not climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our winters are said to be getting wetter, but the last two years have bucked the trend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While winter rainfall has been slowly trending up since the 1970s, long term averages are barely higher now than in the years up to 1940.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, it is noticeable that, with the exception of the exceptionally wet winter of 2013\/14, other recent wet winters, such as 2019\/20 and 2020\/21 have not been unusually wet by historical standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data tells us that the English climate is changing much less than we have been told.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
