Conclusion
November 2024 was very mild during the first half of it but then a noticeable cold spell cancelled that out which ended with us getting a lot of snow from Storm Bert.
The temperatures during November 2024 were very close to average in the end but with an above average number of air frosts.
There was barely any rain at all during the first half of the month and although the second half of the month was a little bit wetter, the rainfall totals never even came close to recovering from that very dry start which means that November was a very dry month overall with most of the rainfall total coming from Storm Bert and falling as snow.
November 2024 was also yet another duller than average month overall.
