For me this has been a classic year for weather up there with 1995.
It had everything..
Severe droughtAn exceptionally hot August and exceptional hot days with new date records in JulyAn exceptionally mild drought busting autumn
And then to cap it all off, the longest and severest winter cold snap perhaps since Dec 2010.
The Jiries and richardabns of the board may disagree but for me that's as good as UK weather gets tbh from a pure watching perspective .
From a practical perspective of course I'd prefer a more boring and average 2023 as appreciate these extremes have caused anxiety and difficulty for many, myself included...
