A record breaking December for both temperature and rainfall

Flood Repair Service Comments are off

The weather warnings have been everywhere and the stories have been all over the news over the last couple of weeks so it is no surprise to hear that some records were broken in December 2015.

There was so much rainfall throughout December 2015 in the UK as a whole, that it has now been recorded as one of the top 10 wettest Decembers since 1910.

Scotland, North Wales, Northern Ireland, and North West England all suffered the most with heavy downpours, causing numerous floods throughout the Christmas period.

Peter Cox cannot prevent flooding but we can offer expert help to restoring flood-damaged properties back to their former state, as well as preparing and protecting properties from future flooding.

If you have suffered with flooding at all, go to our flood repair service page to find out more.

It isn’t just the rain that has been record breaking

December 2015 had also been making records due to its higher than average temperatures. The average temperature for December is usually 4°C, but the average temperature for December 2015 was in fact 8°C.

Winds are changing direction

It may have been a ‘warm’ December and start to the new year but temperatures are set to fall again in the coming weeks as longer-range forecasts warn of bitter gales coming in from the Arctic.

Could this mean snow is on its way?…
