ConclusionJanuary 2024 was another disappointing winter month which brought us a decent enough cold spell in the middle of it, but with very little in the way of snow and with no ice days yet again.
The temperature was bang on the 1991-2020 January average overall, but the number of air frosts was once again, well below the 1991-2020 January average.
The amount of rainfall and the number of official rain days were both slightly below average overall, but the actual rainfall amount was very close to the 1991-2020 January average.
However, January 2024 was a sunnier than average month overall.
