[QUOTE="plasticfreddie, post: 2069530, member: 44428"] I would disagree that 2010/11 was one of the coldest in living memory. December 2010 was certainly cold (mean temperatures for the month were 5 degrees below normal over most of the UK) and IIRC it was the coldest December for 100 years (see [URL]http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/interesting/dec2010[/URL]). However, December is only one of the winter months, and the other winter months of January (slightly above average) and February (mild) ensured that the overall mean temperature for the winter was around average. From memory, the winters of 2008/09 and 2009/10 were colder than winter 2010/11. The teleconnections with La Nina are very weak in the UK, and no firm conclusions can be drawn regarding effects on the weather. Sun spot activity was very low during 2008-2011, so that may have had some bearing on the weather, although this is difficult to quantify too. The most likely phenomena to influence the weather in the UK is the sea surface temperature (SST) pattern across the north Atlantic. [/QUOTE]
