Coldest CET Months on record and recent cold months

[peakweather]

My first post and I would like to say hello to all and share a graphic that I have made in PowerBI and I hope it is interesting. The column chart is showing the coldest Central England Temperature months overall compared to the coldest of the last 39 years (back to 79 which was a very cold winter). These are average temperatures for the month from the Met Office CET record.

1645 to 1715 was the Maunder minimum , and 1790 to 1830 or 1796 to 1820, corresponding to the period solar cycle 4 to solar cycle 7 or the Dalton minimum

Peak...

 Just seen this post.

 Have you still got the data around?

To be really meaningful you will need to -

1) show the other winter months back in the earlier periods.

2) Show more data (how about the coldest winters in a 10 year period, instead of having huge gaps)?

As it stands it just shows that (as most of us accept) that the Maunder and Dalton periods contained some brutal winters, only matched by 1962 and 1947.

The chart shows the 10 coldest ever CET months on the left and on the right the coldest months of the last 39 years -hence the gaps.

It would be very useful/interesting to also look at 10 year periods, 30 and 60 year periods of CET data and intend to do more charts.
