What are your end-of-month climate statistics according to WeatherCat?

[elagache]

Dear Steve, X-Air, and WeatherCat faithful,

Oops!  I just plain forgot to get this data.  Oh well, better late than never:



I don't have time to compile additional statistics at the moment.  Perhaps later in the week.

December was...
   Warmer than average (6.53ºC versus an average of 4.38)
   Wetter than average (168.80 mm versus an average total of 66.83)
   Windier than average (a wind run of 3.759 km, versus an average of 2.115)

2023 was...
   Warmer than average (11.1°C versus an average of 10.3)
   Wetter than average (1244.2 mm versus an average total of 826)

2023 was - also according to our national weather service (KNMI) - the wettest year on record in the Netherlands (since official measurements started in 1901).

Dear Steve, X-Air, Jos, and WeatherCat climate watchers,

This afternoon I have a bit more time and so can compile the same numbers for my station that Steve suggested:

2023 was...
   Warmer than average^* (58.43° F versus an average^* of 57.93° F)
   Wetter than average^* (29.48" in versus an average^* total of 23.67")
   Windier than average^* (a wind run of 7,925 miles versus an average^* of 4,041 miles)

^* Average of data from approximately 2010 through 2023.

The average temperature difficult is most certainly within 1-standard deviation, so it was basically unchanged.  However, both the rainfall and wind run are dramatically larger.

Thanks Steve for suggesting this.  I'm definitely curious to see what other WeatherCatters can show us along these lines.

You really do live in a desert!

Did you edit your recent post while I was writing you a snarky PM?!

Good idea, Steve!

December was...
   Warmer than average (26.11°F versus an average of 22.52)
   Drier than average (1.98 in versus an average total of 3.10)
   Windier than average (a wind run of 3,283 miles versus an average of 3,093)

2023 was...
   Warmer than average* (39.47°F versus an average* of 38.77)
   Wetter than average* (38.41 in versus an average* total of 23.37)
   Windier than average* (a wind run of 36,411 miles versus an average* of 32,625)

* Average of 2013 through 2023

Thanks for sharing Blick!

Anyone else?

January was...
   Warmer than average (30.53°F versus an average of 29.02)
   Drier than average (1.58 in versus an average total of 2.27)
   Calmer than average (a wind run of 2,491 miles versus an average of 3,605)

However, we didn’t experience any of it, as we’ve been in Florida since the 8th. 😁

January was...

    Wetter than average (5.36 in versus an average total of 2.80)
    Calmer than average (a wind run of 2,737 miles versus an average of 3,290)

January was...
   Cooler than average (36.74°F versus an average of 42.81)

Dear Steve, Blick, X-Air, and WeatherCat climate watchers,

Thank you for your contributions!

Okay, here is report for northern California with the usual plug to Grand's WeatherCatRCP:



I had to wait until today to collect the data since we had quite a bit of rain last night and I didn't want to miss including any of it.  It was the difference for the month.  Here is screenshot of my the graph of my difference from average rainfall synthetic channel taken early last evening:



As you can see, it bounced around but remained very close to the predicted averages for the entire month of January.

Who's next?

Dear WeatherCat observers of the changing climate,

Okay, this time I get to start the observations for February.  As usual, I'll give a plug to Grand's WeatherCatRCP:



We expected rain during the night, so I waited to pick up the data until this morning.  All in all, very similar to January.

So who's next?

Here on the far western edge of the Uinta Mountains, in northern Utah,

February was...
    Warmer than average (25.18°F versus an average of 23.57)
    Wetter than average (4.41 in versus an average total of 2.38)
    Windier than average (a wind run of 3,557 miles versus an average of 2,854)

February 2024 was (a lot!) wetter and warmer than normal in The Netherlands.

Weathercat recorded 118.6mm of rain, which is double the normal amount.

The average temperature was 8.0ºC, which is 4.3ºC(!) above the average, and even 5.7ºC above the previous century's average February temperature.
The whole winter (Dec-Feb) was very 'warm' in the Netherlands. Our official meteorological institute (KNMI) recorded a 6.3ºC average versus a normal of 3.9ºC.

Climate change in action I guess...

Need to edit the rain totals (found the late falling leaves doing an extra bit of "filtering"!).

February was...
   Warmer than average (51.42°F versus an average of 46.71)
   Drier than average (2.07 in versus an average total of 6.62)
   Calmer than average (a wind run of 482 miles versus an average of 1,016)

Dear Blick, Jos, X-Air, and WeatherCat climate watchers,

Thank you for your contributions!

Sadly, there is evidence of climate change everywhere you look it seems.

. . . .

Indeed our weather stations need a bit of 'luv every now and then!

So who's next?
