Pacific volcano effects recorded in Wakefield
You are probably aware of the huge underwater volcano that erupted in the Pacific Ocean close to Tonga on Saturday Morning (UK time). As far as I am concerned Tonga is on the other side of the world and I didn’t think it would result in any measurable effects by my weather station in the UK.

2021 Weather Summary
I don’t think 2021 will go down in our records as a particularly good gardening year. It certainly finished better than it started. As you can see from the table on the right it finished in eighth place equal with 2019 with a slightly below average temperature based on the last 12 years.

Coldest day of the year
That mild spell of weather over the first few days of the new year is behind us now. The temperature in the early hours of Thursday morning fell down to -4.4°C (21.0°F) which could easily be the coldest we will have this year.

Warmest January day
Hot on the heels of the mildest December day I’ve recorded comes the mildest January day. New Year’s Day became the warmest January day of the last 10 years.

Bleak mid winter
I’ve seen reports that the higher parts of Yorkshire had snow on Christmas Day. It wasn’t the case for us. We had a dull wet day continuing the trend of the last couple of weeks. I think it’s now 12 days since we last saw any glimpse of sunshine. We have a weekly walk around Nostell Priory with Ruby and on the last couple of visits it’s been misty. To make matters worse on our visit last week it decided to pour with rain before we finished our walk.

Shortest day
Tuesday was our shortest day of the year. To me it’s the first milestone of winter as from now on each day will be getting a little bit more daylight. However, that change is very gradual for the next few weeks.

Ruby’s wintry walks
After a mildish spell of weather for the middle of December, it turned much colder as the weekend arrived. Despite the weather we’ve managed to take Ruby out for a few walks.
