2011
Coldest July since 2000.Despite higher rainfall in June and July we have still only had 70% of our normal rainfall for first 7 months of this year.
Rainfall in March,April & May had amounted to 38.6mm. Normal for this period would be 144mm. We had therefore had only 27% of the expected rain.The temperature has also been higher than any spring temperatures I have recorded in the last 40 years.
After December's record breaking cold January 2011 was close to average while February had above average temperatures. However December's very low temperatures resulted in the winter as a whole being a degree colder than normal but 1C warmer than 2010's winter.
The temp OF -17.1c on night of 18th/19thDec 2010 was the coldest temp I have recorded in Buxton in the last 36 years. Previous lowest was -16.3C on 28/1/79. There were 4 consecutive nights with the minimum temp below -12C.
After a very wet winter the spring and summer of 2010 have been very dry. While we have had 87% of our normal rain for the first 7 months of the year, we have had only 63% of our normal spring and summer rain up to end July. However the very wet August and September have brought the rainfall total back to normal for the first 9 months of the year.
