Snowy Start to February Following Wettest January I’ve Recorded

January finished up wet and cold. With 85.0mm of rainfall, it’s the wettest January I’ve recorded in the last twelve years. 

A decent snowfall on Tuesday morning, which turned to rain later in the day, means that February has got off to a cold, wet start continuing the same sort of weather pattern as January. The melting snow and later rainfall made Tuesday the wettest day of the year with 16.4mm (0.65in) of precipitation. At least the snow isn't hanging around.

I’d expect a wet January to be on the mild side but that hasn’t been the case. Only January 2010 (2.0°C/35.6°F)  finished colder than this year (3.0°C/37.4°F) and it has been the coldest month since March 2013 which had an average temperature of 2.5°C or 36.5°F.
