The following charts (updated January 2020) show the last 12 years' monthly and annual temperatures plotted (in red) against the (green, repeating) 2008 - 2019 12-year Acton Bridge averages, with our recorded deviation from average plotted in blue to the same scale. Notice (in blue) the exceptionally cold December 2010 (-0.8°C) and the exceptionally mild December 2015 (+9.4°C, more than 10° warmer than 2010). The lower chart shows the annual averages and deviations (for example, 2014 was 0.8° milder than our 12-year average of 10.1°C).

The chart below shows two rainfall series - the purple is our 11-year 2009-2019 months' averages for the Acton Bridge 5" rain gauge ; the dark blue is the actual 2019 monthly rainfall. Eight of the twelve months were wetter than our average (several being exceptionally so) making 2019 our wettest year on record.

The next chart shows annual rainfall at Acton Bridge compared with our 11-year average of 893mm. At 1,200mm, the overall rainfall for 2019 was 34% above normal, and the wettest we have ever recorded.

After 12 years of recording and placing our meteorological data on line, we have had to retire the Davis VP2 Weather Station owing to a relocation. We're sorry that we were not able to complete Calendar 2020. October is our last recorded month.
