PLEASE NOTE

This is a private automatic weather station (AWS) based in South East England, and reported data is neither official nor part of the UK Met Office network. This AWS does not conform to Met Office standards - which are far too stringent for most amateurs but the readings give a good indication of weather conditions in the "average" local back garden.

There were 14 consecutive ground frosts from the 1st to 14th, with daytime temperatures barely above freezing on many days. Less cold after the 15th but for the 2nd successive January, the temperature did not reach 10 °C on any day.
