Warmest December day
Thursday turned out to be our mildest December day since I started keeping records in 2010. The afternoon temperature reached 16.6°C (61.9°F) breaking the record of 15.8°C (60.4°F) set back on 19 December 2015.

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.

Pea sticks and bean poles
We made the most of a pleasant Sunday afternoon to coppice one of our hazel bushes at the allotment. The morning had been cloudy and drizzly but the clouds cleared away to leave us with some afternoon sunshine. It was pleasantly mild for the middle of December.

Storm Barra
The beginning of December has brought us two named storms. The first was Arwen which was worthy of note as it brought us some snow in November.; something unusual for us. The second named storm was Barra which luckily for us didn’t bring anything out of the ordinary for December. For us, December is normally a very windy month anyway.

November’s weather details
The end of November brought meteorological autumn to an end. After some lovely mild weather for November, the last week brought some colder temperatures, plenty of rain and very unusually some snow.
