I like this one. I wondered when we last had
something like this. As you can see its ages ago.

What of winter 1995-96?

The last week of December would have plunged even a mild first three
weeks to below average for the month. I believe January was cold that
winter, what was February like?

January 1996 was above average but that February was cold, that's more
than I can say about the last 8 February's which have ALL been above the
1961-90 average, at least here in North Staffordshire.

That surprises me. ISTR that the late Dec '95 cold spell was followed by
a good deal of cold weather the following Jan as well, though nothing so
spectacular of course.

I dare say that a scientific explanation of WTF you are talking about is
out of the Q is it?

Interesting. If you assumed that there was no correlation between
successive months (and in practice there will be some), you'd expect all
three months of a season to be below the monthly average approximately
one year in eight (i.e. two cubed), so this does seem to indicate some
warming. (The 1 in 8 also assumes that 50% of months will be above the
mean and 50% below, which won't necessarily be true, since the
arithmetic mean and the median need not coincide.)

You can divide people into two categories:
those who divide people into two categories and those who don't

Could you be thinking of Dec '96 / Jan '97?

Please.

(Just an indication of what the numbers are supposed to be would help.)

I think you would be safe in assuming that they are mean temperatures in
degrees Celsius from the so-called CET record ("Central England
Temperatures").
