Central England Temperature Trends Continue To Plummet

So far this year, the CET is running 0.04C below the 1961-90 average. More significantly it is about 0.6C below the 1981-2010 baseline, which was warmer.
A colder than normal November means that this year is almost certain to be colder than last year, which itself was the second coldest year since 1996. (December would need to be about 3C warmer than normal, for this year to rank above 2012).
Assuming average temperatures in December, (and the Met Office are forecasting colder than normal), the year will finish at 9.45C, meaning that three of the last four years have been the coldest since 1996.

The 5-Year running average has been in sharp decline since 2007, and is now provisionally the lowest since 1990.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
All looks good now, thanks. The CET series must seem like a thorn in a thumb to the MET office.

In the USA the beginning of winter is officially the Solstice. However, the weather for Washington State hasn’t gotten the message this year. Cold air is moving into B.C. and will flow down the Fraser River valley and then swing south into western Washington. For Tuesday night the low is expected to be 24° F (-4.4° Celsius), at an elevation of about 240 feet (~73 meters). Puget Sound is just downhill.
I live in the central part of the State at 2,240 feet (683 m.) and here the temperature will be colder and we will have stronger wind. We are not pleased with this Arctic outburst.
I find it very hard to believe that July was 2.3 higher than the norm, it just wasn’t that hot in the UK.
