Thursday and Friday weren’t anything special weather wise for late May. Thursday was sunnier but Friday was milder reaching around average temperature.
If you’ve read many of my posts over the last six months you’ll no doubt have noted that many of my weather summaries include descriptions of windy weather including gale force, strong breeze, gusty winds and so on. So here’s a couple of charts showing how windy it’s been over the last six months.
This shows each month side by side so it’s easy to see which have been the windiest Decembers for example. It turns out that December 2014 was the windiest December I’ve recorded and it’s the same story for January, March and May this year. February and April haven't been a great deal better as they’ve turned out to be the second windiest on a month by month comparison.
The second chart shows the wind speeds in chronological order from January 2011 and it’s easy to spot the windiest times of the year. It also shows how we’ve had consistently windy weather for the last six months. Unless we’re in for something very unusual the months of June through to October aren’t particularly windy months. Let’s hope this year doesn’t turn out to be the exception.

Your charts are very interesting displayed in that way and seem to match my weather perceptions (even if I am in a different part of the country).
ReplyDeleteGlad you found my charts interesting. I'm hoping we've seen the back of the persistently windy weather now.
DeleteI hate windy weather but we seem to have had nothing but wind this year. Can't complain about the weather today though, we've been sat by the river in York and it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely afternoon here too. Afternoon coffee break on the plot.
