A really frustrating month with lots of cold synoptics that seldom translated into low temperatures. Countless clear nights that didn't freeze, and temperatures stuck around 2-3C for hours or days on end. Despite a high number of days with snow it never lay on the ground for more than 12 hours at a time.

January 2015 Statistics

January was in general a fairly cold feeling month after an average-above average start - the first day was actually very mild, recorded a daytime high of 15C. From then on it was average or just above until mid-month when things started to turn colder. The month didn't actually record any snow, however there was a covering of hail on the 19th which melted away quickly. The month then got progressively colder, with 5 air frosts being recorded.. far more than any month last year.

Don't have any statistics but January 2015 turned out to be a very topsy turvy mixed sort of month, but a bit of everything.

 

Started off on a very mild wet note, the 1st saw very heavy rain and very mild temps. It was showery 2-4th with near average temps and the return of frosts. The 5th - 9th was generally mild and wet.

 

The 10th was a cold showery day with plenty of wet snow and hail showers.

 

11th-12th milder again and wet.

 

13th brought further hail/snow showers in the evening with a 2cm cover. 14th was a cold frosty start with a snow cover but turned milder later with a quick thaw. 15th a dry day. 16th more snow showers. 17th light snow shower pm - barely a dusting. 18th a lovely heavy snow shower early on, 1 cm cover but then a quick thaw unfortunately, becoming cold and frosty again later. 19th probably the coldest day of the month. 20th another 1 cm snow shower. 21-23 cold days with a gradual slow thaw. 24th -27th mild and wet.

 

28th cold with snow shower in the evening another 1cm cover. 29th snowiest day of the month with heavy snow shower depositing an inch. 30th and 31st cold bright sunny days with snow lingering in sheltered spots.

 

So despite plenty of days with snowfall, we never managed more than an inch cover. A very northwesterly month.

Cantley January 2015 data

 

Average temperatures with the Avge Min-0.4C below; more frosts and lying snow than the 18 year average; drier than normal

One could say a month of two halves, at least for the temperature? The first 15 days the mean was 6.8C and the last 16 was 3.3C

 

Mean=5.0 (5.1)

Avge Max=7.7 (7.4); Highest=16.1 on 9th, lowest daytime=2.7 on 21st

Avge Min=2.3 (2.7); Warmest night=7.7 on 10th and coldest=-3.4 on 4th

 

19 days with rain including a trace, 16 days with 0.2mm or more and 9 with 1.0mm or more; wettest day=21st with 7.2mm. some of this was snow

 

Snow fell on 6 days and lay at 0900 on 4 days with a maximum of 2cm on 29th; the average over 18 years is 2 and 2( falling and lying)

 

Air frost on 7(7) and ground frost on 17 mornings (12)

January - Hobart, Tasmania

This was the second summer month to be wet ( the wettest January since 1924 ) and cooler than average for mean maximum ( coolest January since 2004 ). Even the overall mean temperature for January was below average ( 81-10...but only fractionally ), making this the first 'cool' month here in just over a year.

 

Average maximum:  21.5 ( -0.7 )

Average minimum:  13.2 ( +0.6 )

Rainfall:  122mm ( average 47mm )

Rain days ( +1mm ):  13/from 15 

 

One way or another, tropical instability over eastern Australia made this a cloudy and wet January with a high number of cool days. On the night of the 13th a significant rain event unfolded here as a low pressure system formed over north-eastern waters, fed by tropical moisture streaming south. 72mm of rain fell in a few hours and a further 10mm after 9am - a combined total representing almost double the monthly average for January. Thereafter, it was cooler with a SW'ly Southern Ocean flow, with blustery showers mainly over the mountain range in the wake of an embedded cold front, with snow to 1300m in the back country. After a warm spell from the 20th-24th, the remainder of the month was cool to significantly very cool with onshore E'ly winds, as high pressure was dragged south... as low pressure instability re-emerged over the east side of the continent. These onshore winds piled in low cloud with hill fog, with periods of light showers and drizzle.

 

Extremes in daily temperature for January ( Records since 1882 ):

Highest maximum:  34.2...3rd ( Record 41.8 in 2013 )

Lowest maximum:  14.8...31st ( Record 11.1 in 1885 )

 

Highest minimum:  19.4...22nd ( Record 23.4 in 2013 )

Lowest minimum:  8.9...17th ( Record 3.3 in 1902 )

My statistics for central Reading in January 2015:

Average maximum: 8.2
Average minimum: 2.1
Average for month: 5.1

Highest maximum: 15.5 (January 9)
Lowest maximum: 2.8 (4)
Highest minimum: 7.5 (12)
Lowest minimum: -4.8 (23) - the coldest since March 2013.

Air frosts: 9

Days with thunder: 1

Days with falling snow: 2

No days with lying snow at 9am.

Rainfall: no data available for this site; local stations show around 60mm, which is close to average.  No local sunshine data available.

 

A statistically close to average January that produced a typical wintry weather mix with alternating cold and mild spells, albeit with minimal snow, and wide temperature extremes. With a maximum of 15.5 early evening the 9th was probably the mildest January day on record in the area.  The minimum of -4.8 on the morning of the 23rd (with temperatures below -6 recorded widely in the area) equalled the lowest temperature recorded here in winter 2012/13.

This is a new station which I set up on 2nd Jan so not quite a full month. Despite stormy conditions it seems we saw very little rainfall here in the sheltered East. We've already exceeded January's total rainfall in the first week of February. (Thankfully, as i was starting to think my rain sensor was faulty!!).
