What’s more neither record has just crept over the line into top spot but is there by some considerable margin. There seems to have been an awful lot of talk about how mild this winter has been but my weather station records didn’t confirm it as the warmest of the last eleven years, with the winter of 2014/15 still holding on to that record. Rather unsurprisingly with all the rainfall of the last month, this winter’s turned out to be the wettest I’ve recorded.
