The mean December temperature in Penzance is now running 3.1C above

2015 was, of course, the warmest on record, but this year is now firmly
in
2nd place

Warmest Decembers
2015 - 12.0C
2016 - 10.9C (so far)
2006 & 1994 9.3C

The temperature has only dropped below 10C on 1 day - minimum of 9.7C on
3rd,
when the 'cold'? spell was hitting the news.

Looking at variances to date there are many places with anomalies running
around +3C, from the midlands to right up in Shetland.

There's also been a fair bit of rain, mainly due to a front stuck over us
on
the 10th for far too long. More sunshine than last December.

Very mild in Tideswell. Mean temp for the month so far is 5.7C which is
2.5C
above the average for the whole month. The mean for Dec 2015 was 7.5C so
we are
still well below that.

It's been a very dry month so far. The total rain to date is 23mm which is
only
15% of the average for the whole month. It's a very dull month. The total
of
4.1 hours of sunshine so far is only 11% of the average for the whole
month.

Very mild, very dry and very dull sums up the month here so far.
