Here in Penzance, the lowest maximum of the month was 9.7C back on 3rd, only 2 days have failed to reach 10C.
It will be (easily) my 2nd warmest December (after 2015) in my 26 year record.
Another lovely day today. The month in pictures http://www.sennen-cove.com/imdec16.htm

A bright day here with sunny intervals though it was a foggy start but
that gradually cleared through the morning.

My mean temperature for this month so far is 8.3C. That does make it the
2nd warmest December in my 11 year record though a few months have come
close(ish).

The recent plethora of cold nights has dragged the mean temperature down
a little from its dizzy heights earlier in the month. The mean maximum
temperature currently at 11.2C.

Only 16.5 mm of rain - going to be my driest December by quite a margin.

Sunshine levels have picked up markedly during the last 7 days meaning
this month has been saved from being a very dull one but it will still
be cloudier than normal.
