1995 was the best year for my data recording and so interesting but some few frustrations as well.
Arrived back to UK from a snowy Palmdale, Ca in early Jan 1995 to deep frost here and my thermometer which I left it outside was -10C the lowest.
Didn't see any snow events in Epsom area but was very wet winter.
March quckly dry out and got better and nice Easter weekend in April both months recorded few rain days so very dry.
Heatwave in early May reached 32C in my garden, follow by drop to 7C max in mid month back to 30C at end.
June was NE dominated at the first few week tollow by 30th June heatwave which recorded 35c in my garden and 21C last night.
July was a hot month with day time temps 27-35C and at night 20-21C 14 times which my mom have to change my pillow cases every 2 days due to sweat, we had no fans that time only opened window but no help. A one day cool day in mid July that drop to 7C at night allow us to breathe of relief to sleep well at night.
Went to Cyprus end of July to 1st week of August so missed out the 35C heat in August as I am sure my garden was 36-37C possible. While the plane was a bit delayed at heathrow, we were feeling very hot inside due to baking hot sun shining on the aircraft as their AC was not turn on yet until the engines start. Arrived to Nicosia did not feel any diffference from Epsom and having AC in our rented house we slept good.
Arrived back 2nd week of August to see everywhere beautifully parched, stinging nettles all dead and good riddance. River levels drop very low after high flow from the wet winter earlier on. Hot month but night time not that bad as July.
Sept was a terrible month with rain, cool and no warm spell at all so a carbon copy of Sept 1976.
October indian summer lasted nearly 4 weeks with temps of 15-26C days and some frost at nights.
November shortest Autumn lasted just 1 month from around 25th October to 25C November before winter set in with some snow at end of the month.
Dec was very cold but very frustrating with lack of snow and potential -15C or below predicted for Xmas night failed due to clouds refusing to clear until 8am which cleared and temps dropped sharply to -9C just before sun rise so was a wasted.
Failed heavy snow event at the end of the month with freezing rain instead.
1995 was very interesting year. If i was asked to choose 1995 or 2022? I go for 1995, don't like 2022 at all horrible year with lot of overcast skies and hot same time. 2018 are 2nd to best after 2006 and 2003.
