Ik lees hieruit dat Schotland erin zit, maar ook Cornwall vermoedelijk. Zo'n groot eiland met veel reliëf is niet in één gemiddelde te vatten. -1 nog hoog moet ik zeggen als dit een topvijfnotering is in honderd jaar. Hieruit zie je dat in de UK de winters echt nooit iets voorstellen, tenzij je op hoogte woont. Daar zal het gemiddelde wel ver onder nul zijn geweest. In London vermoedelijk vele graden hoger.
Idd. apart. Beter is om het per regio te doen.
Het is in de UK vaak lastig om langdurig koud te hebben. In december was er een goede setting. Groenlandhoog en een deel van de Poolwervel die naar de UK ging. Veel koude nachten met sneeuwdek.
Echt opzienbarend hoeveel de records zijn bijgesteld.
