JANUARY 2000 WEATHER REPORT
Brief Climatological Summary
The month was generally mild with temperatures averaging at 1.1C above
the January mean. The first week and a half were particularly mild with
maximum temperatures typically above 8 or 9C, but a cooler spell of
weather then followed with some penetrating ground frosts (-6.6C on the
10th) owing to the development of anticyclonic conditions to the west
of the British Isles. The final few days of the month saw a return to
very mild conditions with the highest maximum of January (13.1C)
recorded on the 29th. The prevalence of anticyclonic conditions and low
cloud amounts resulted in this January being the sunniest in the UK
since 1959.
The notable feature of January's weather was, however, the lack of rain.
Only 13.5mm was recorded at Pitsford Hall, 24.4% of the average. Only a
few days recorded rainfall in excess of 1mm, the notable falls being
3.8mm on the 3rd and 3mm on the 12th, the latter associated with an
erratic front moving southwards.
Some strong winds were recorded on a few occasions. Notable gusts were
noted on the 21st (47mph) and 22nd (53mph, with 37mph recorded at
morning observation). Further extremes were reported on the 28th and
29th (55mph).
