Meteorological spring 2019 is nearing its end and with just 7 months left and two full seasons of the 2010s to go, I am going to look back at the 2010s and give my opinion for my area what I think were the best and worst months and seasons of the 2010s.
Winter 2009-10 for me was the best winter season of the 2010s, worst was 2013-14, it barely registered as winter.
Best spring for me was 2018 for its variety of heat and cold, worst spring is a bit trickier, 2014 was a bit tedious.
Best summer was 2018 was the worst 2012
I'm struggling with autumn. Best 2010 Worst 2015
Best and worst months
January, best: 2010; worst: 2014
February: best 2018; worst: 2014
March: best: 2012; worst: 2014
April: best: 2011; worst: 2012
May: best: 2018; worst: 2015
June: best 2018; worst: 2012
July: best 2018; worst: 2012
August: best 2013; worst: 2014
September: best 2014; worst 2012
October: best 2017; worst: 2013
November: 2010; worst 2015
December: 2010; worst 2015
Rest of 2019 hasn't overtaken the months above on that list.
That's trickier. I like years with great variety, full of memorable weather events. I found 2014, a bore fest. 2018 up to August was great but it went downhill from then on.
2012 was a terrible year from April onwards. It was more or less a washout.
2011 was another borefest.
The standout for me this decade was the lack of thunder. There were some good thunderstorms but they were few and far between and I am struggling to name one month this decade that could be called thundery.
