Lmao @ the Aussie summaries.  Here there is the closest weather station to my village instead  Also in this case the weather station is not an official one, and the reference data series starts only in 1992. However, also in this case the year was warmer than the average, with +1.0°C regarding the annual average high and +0.6°C regarding the lows. The highest variation from the average was recorded in February, which had a couple of particularly insisting and warm foehn wind episodes that affected the averages of the whole month (particularly remarkable the data from Feb 3rd, with an high/low of 19.7/22.4°C in Susa). The year here was also particularly dry, in particular in the first two months of the year and in November (the latter usually being the second rainiest month of the year in here), resulting in about -300 mm of rain in comparison with the reference period. I'm astonished by Susa's rainfall. Didn't know it was possible to even approach such totals. The contrast with not-so-distant Grenoble is abysmal. What a dreadful year there! |

rozenn I posted a climate box for Turin the other day (near the bottom of the page on this thread), and June there has seen nearly twice as much rainfall as Grenoble did; I'm a bit surprised that the precipitation contrast was that strong as well.

I spent all of December 2020 in the Chapel Hill/Durham area, but I'm too lazy to make a weatherbox for there right now. Here's RDU:  That looks right except for the November and December snow data. |

Here’s my true “experienced” 2020. Combined the days I was in Fort Collins and Rochester for August and December and included the other days when I was traveling rather than my home location  |

Even within my region the average precipitation can vary quite a lot depending on the spot (first picture under the next spoiler), and Susa among the mountain valleys part tend to be one of the driest parts in general because there is some sort of "rain shadow" effect. However this year was drier than the average for most of the region, apart from a couple of areas (the blue ones in the second picture under the following spoiler) which had some very intense rain episodes (with floods etc..) in early October.  ^ indicative values for the average annual precipitation in the Piemonte region, Susa is one of the orange spots on the west  ^Total precipitation amount anomalies for the year 2020 in Piedmont [ref]Grenoble instead seems to have a wetter climate than Susa in general, I would expect it to get more rain than Susa in the most of the years.  ^ this map seems a little old, but also within the Rhône-Alpes territory there seems to be quite a lot of variability in the rain amounts. [ref]I'm not completely sure about why Susa was much drier than its average, while Grenoble was very close to its normal values instead. As an anecdote, I can say that the weather on the two sides of the Alps is often quite different, but to analyse this is detail it's probably quite complex. |

Highly Anticipated 2020 Speagles84 Boxes 2020 was warmer and wetter and snowier than normal. December 2020 was very snowy in particular, and had snow depths of T+ for 25/31 days. No days in 2020 dropped below 0F, which is VERY rare. I had 5 days at or above 90F, the first time I had temperatures that warm since 2018.    |

December - was also milder than average and there was less than average precipitation. However, it turned out to be the coldest month of the year. Annual summary - according to preliminary data the year 2020 was the warmest one on record. The largest deviation from the average was in coastal areas (the second box). Ironically, May and July and April too, especially in my area, were cooler than average.  |

SMHI December summary
Mild but cloudy across the whole country. Almost all stations between 58'N and 66'N were close to record mild this December. Some stations with less than 100 years of data even broke their records. Most of the country was wet to very wet except for the southernmost county, as well as just west of lake Vättern in south-central Sweden. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Some interesting Swedish stations: First off: Falsterbo. The warmest year ever in the warmest station of the country. The old national record was 10.5'C, set by Falsterbo A (There are two stations, one automatic and one manual, within about 20m from eachother I believe. This weatherbox uses an average of the two stations if I'm not mistaken, or it uses the manual station. I'm not quite sure actually, as I'm basing it off SMHI's summary PDF's which just say "Falsterbo"). I wonder if this 10.9'C is the warmest ever in the entire Nordics or if Denmark managed to break the 11.0'C threshold. Very disappointing that we only just failed to pass 11.0'C using the 24h method and SMHI method, although we did get 11.1'C using (max+min)/2... That May and July were so unfortunate. Also, in August, Falsterbo got 102mm of rain while Malmö, only 30km away, got 32mm. Would've been such a neat and flawless looking year otherwise. (Also, the lows and means getting progressively colder from Jan-Mar looks ugly) Over all a very sunny, slightly drier than average, and extremely mild year. Warmer actually then Sheffield was!  Lund: Warmest average high ever in Sweden. What a phenomenal year. If only May could've been slightly warmer, and July had August's temps, August had June's temps, and June had July's temps, this year could've looked almost identical to the average year somewhere in France. (If March had been a little warmer too I guess). Remarkably short frost free period though! Especially compared to how mild the year was otherwise. While not a particularly sunny year (only 4% above the 2002-2018 average), it did manage to beat its previous annual mean record of 10.2'C by 0.4'C, just like Falsterbo, all while keeping a slightly below average precipitation total. Lund also managed to be just as warm this year as Sheffield.  Then we have the capital, Stockholm. Not quite 10.0'C but not that far away. Very sunny, slightly dry, and most importantly very warm. They beat their previous record of 8.8'C by a whopping 1.0'C!  And then we have Svenska högarna, a small 1km diameter island in the far edges of the Stockholm Archipelago at 59.5'N. They didn't quite manage to beat their sunshine record of 2402h because of the appauling december sunshine. The estimated 1961-1990 average for December is 35h. Their previous record was 8.4'C, so a slightly lesser 0.8'C increase of the record. The average annual precipitation is 447mm, so slightly below average here as well.  I just realized that every single one of these stations were drier than average, while Umeå had one of our wettest years ever. |

According to Infoclimat there was one station in Denmark that managed to reach 11.0'C, at least in terms of the max/min-method: Omø  However, according to Infoclimat, Falsterbo A got an 11.1'C mean using the same method, so it's looking like this could be the Nordic record.  Looking at these two side by side, it's actually very remarkable how near-identical they are in every single month, both in terms of highs and lows! |

combined NYC with Amherst (actually lived in Greenfield, 25 miles to the northwest but wanted to keep using the same station as I had in previous years ). I moved out of NYC March 17, so rounded and Jan-Mar is all NYC, rest Amherst. April is actually less sunny by total hours as well as precent; felt memorably cloudy. boombo all sunshine data from Blue Hill Observatory (which has a CS-recorder like European stations) near Boston, not near where I lived anytime of the year but should be correlated with Blue Hill. July was monotonously hot, warmer than average, especially by lows.  |

 A cloudy and wet year, with 2300 hours of sunshine (average is 2600 hrs) and over 1200mm of rainfall (average here is around 850mm). I'm pretty sure January was the "cloudiest" because of the widespread smoke haze that blotted out the sun. The month was actually pretty dry overall. If it weren't for the incessant haze, I'm pretty sure the average for that month would've been around 200 hours or so.
EDIT: I made a mistake with May's average high. It's supposed to be 19.5C. Oops. |
