Sum your January up.

[Marcus_surfer]

Very very wet and stormy

[Carl46Wrexham]

Thoroughly hateful. Good riddance to bad rubbish

[Gaz1985]

This January and Winter is reminding me of Autumn 2000, another month of this wet weather and it feel 100% like it!

Very dry here. Warm but not as warm as last year.

[knocker]

Wet and windy. The only plus was no snow.

[Bottesford]

Over here - a fairly mild & benign first half but turned very cold the second half. -13c was our low and it stayed below freezing for almost two weeks. Two days it snowed a fair bit with a good couple of inches lying- but nothing stopped, transport worked perfectly and every pavement was made easy to walk on. What a contrast to the UK! In more ways than one...

And now the thaw has arrived in earnest!

Over the UK as a whole this January has been very similar to that of 1948.  The pattern that month was very much like 2014, blocks of low pressure close to the UK unable to disrupt and allow blocking to influence the UK, which as a consequence, Jan 1948 was until this year, the wettest on record, with very little snowfall south of Scotland, and had a CET similar to what is likely for Jan 2014.  What followed for the rest of that winter; Feb 1948 saw a very mild first half, then a cold spell did occur over the second half of that month which did bring snowfall to some areas, but at the very end mild conditions returned, and then March 1948 was very warm, similar in many ways to March 2012.
