December was amazingly warm, the mean temperature was the same as November at 10.3°, nearly double the 5.3° average and more than 3° warmer than the previous record of 7.1° in 2013.  The maximum temperature was 15.2° on the 22nd and the lowest 3.8° on the 9th.  Rainfall was much lower than normal with 27.6mm compared with the 50.9mm average but unusually we had at least some rain on 28 days of the month so it was always wet despite the low total.
