CorkerSWFC Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 This has been a strange old year weather wise, surely the snow is going to come or is all this climate change really starting to take a hold on things, by the way I'm not that clued up about this it's just a general question as it didn't feel like Christmas day atall today with the weather.

howden Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 January and February are on average the coldest months of the year so don't put that blue and white scarf away yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Squirrel Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It is quite mild for the time of year. I got 14oC on the weather station yesterday at around 2pm but that is only slightly warmer than usual. The last 2 years winters have been unusually cold for UK averages. Our usual winters are a bit chilly with occasional frosts, wet and windy. Deep snow, Sheet Ice and burst pipes are thankfully pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 One year we have a really cold winter, the next it's extremely mild; then the next one it's cold again, then the opposite... Usual thing, folks; nothing to do with the myth that is global warming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture and creates higher winds. Record high temperatures have been twice as numerous as record lows in recent years. Global warming? Well, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to give it a few more years before we can come to a conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I thought the bad weather of last year was due to climate change more than this years mild weather. Ice caps melt, cold water moves south and slows down the conveyer belt effect of warm water coming from the Caribbean sort of area, leaving us more prone to harsh winters. Just a thought.

MrSmith Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Extreme weather is a consequence of global warming so as the planet warms the weather will become more extreme especially in coastal countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
