Maulds Meaburn - November - November is wet, on average the third wettest month of the year, but after five of the last six have notched up 100mm+ we really are due a drier one. The driest Nov' in my records had 51.3 mm which makes it the wettest, driest month in my records! Obviously 2009 still lives long in the memory, even though it was 'replaced' by Dec' 2015 as the wettest. The end of the month in 2010 was very cold and snowy and the fore-runner to 'that December'. But maybe this year we will get something drier, the first half is looking settled, but what will follow after? Curiously, in my records the 1st and 16-17th have never recorded an air frost. - The mean temperature as ranged from 3.83°c (2010) to 8.12°c (2011). Averages 129.5 mm of rain - Air/Ground Frost on 7.2 + 13.9 days - Snow Fall + Lay on 1.4 + 0.4 days - Gale on 0.3 days - Wet Days (1.0mm=+ of rain) on 16.4 days
