Lake Eildon 1982. Bit of a crazy year, very cold July and June and getting almost record cold and record heat in the same month in November. Lows for February, October and July were broken.  |

AJ1013 Behold, the most holy of months, January 1950 (which was preceded by a pretty decent December). Overall, 1950 was a chilly and dry year.

How is that even possible? That's a pretty normal January here, apart from the precipitation of course.

The winter of 2014/15 was the snowiest on record for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (and probably many other locations on the island as well) with 551 cm / 216.94" of snowfall. Looking at the data (http://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/daily_data_e.html?StationID=50621&timeframe=2&StartYear=1840&EndYear=2018&Day=1&Year=2015&Month=12) it looks like a very interesting climate. Many warm summer nights! Apparently it is also quite sunny in the winter while still retaining such high snowfall totals. The wind looks very persistent too. I'm sold!    |

^ 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 Incredible, especially February. It shouldn't be that wet and that cold at the same time. December 2014 is complete garbage. I made a wiki box for Kustanai, Kazakhstan that was posted earlier. I used the infoclimat post for temperatures and ogimet for sun, humidity, precipitation, and snow depth. 2012 was above normal by 0.4C even with arctic winter weather. February, April, and December were more than 6C departure for the daily means.
 Other statistics: First above freezing day March 19th, last December 4th Last ice day March 27th, first November 13th First 10C April 6th, last October 30th First 20C April 10th, last October 13th First 30C April 18th, last August 19th First 35C June 21st, last August 8th (12 days above 35C) Last frost April 5th, first frost October 18th (ground frost likely May 17th +1.0C and September 29th +0.5C) Snow cover January until April 1st and November 11th to the end of December. Average by month January 17.2cm February 20.4 March 15.5 April 0.1 November 3.9 December 17.3. Peak snow cover 22cm in March and December.

February 2015 was the coldest winter in decades for most of New England and extremely snowy along the coast; coastal Atlantic Canada must have gotten some of that. I had 24.9°F/-2.5°F that month. Boston got over 100 inches, most of it in February or just before; snarling the city. Here's that February for me:  |

Looking back through Charlottetown's data back to the 1870s, February 2015 was one for the ages. Not many months came close to the severity of the cold and from what I saw, no month was snowier there. |

 1992 in Great Falls. In general it was boring and mild compared to what it could have been. January and February were much warmer than normal and July and August were much cooler than normal. Daily temperatures: i.imgur.com/8yys2yu.pngHowever, the largest snow storm of the year came in August. 8.3"/21.1cm on the 21st and 22nd. August was the warmest month of the year and the snowiest. The 21st had a max/min of 38/32F (3.6/0C), which was 30.0F/16.7C below normal, in summer. How many climates can do that? Video of the snow: Two days in August did not get above 39F/4C. Two reached 95F/35C.  December started out above normal, but it reached 0F/-18C on the 17th. 0F is not unusual in winter, and it was back in the 40s quickly. But the last 5 days were extremely cold. From about 8pm on December 27th until 9am January 1st, the temperature was below -13F/-25C. The coldest was December 30th at -17/-22F(-27/-30C), which is 43.5F/24.2C below normal. It also snowed 1.3"(3.3cm) that day which is a lot for such cold weather.  Another oddity: May 15th was warm with max of 70F/21C and the 16th also reached 68F/20C, but overnight it dropped to 31F/-1C and snowed 0.9"/2cm. |

The 21% sunshine is just as bad as the 10.3C. July is barely any better.

Uh, how is the sunshine percent calculated? I highly dount Värnes recorded 2000h in 2015 It's not really sunshine. There were no sunrecorder in the region in 2015, not untill late Dec 2015. I wanted to get some measure of cloudiness so I used mean monthly cloud cover at the airport, recorded in oktas, each day. A mean cloud cover of 6 (6 of 8) would give 25 % possible sunshine. This is not accurate, agreed. As Wiki lacked any alternative for cloud cover, I had to use percent possible sunshine. Still interesting to see how cloudy that June was, compared to January, August or other months.
Here is what 2014 looked like using mean cloud cover in that climate box: |

Babu I took the average of all 12 numbers and got 45.67. It's not accurate. Yes, and annual sun percentage doesn't directly corrolate with annual sunshine since sun in winter barely matters for the year's total. However, since Norway doesn't include sun percentage in their meteorology services I was a little sceptical. Værnes, where the data is supposedly from, doesn't even measure sunshine. They did have 10 clear days in January 2015 and an average cloudcover of 2.5/8. However, Trondheim the city had 2 clear sky days and 4.7/8 cloud cover for the same month, so clearly the cloud cover readings aren't that accurate because on satellite images they were pretty much identical in terms of overcast and clear days. And if half the sky is covered by small clouds, that would read as 4/8 cloud cover, but the sun wouldn't be able to shine through any of the blue spaces if the sun angle was 10°. Scattered clouds cannot yield sunshine in December and January at these latitudes. It has to be completely clear for dozens of miles at the horizon or else the sun will be blocked by clouds. So using cloud cover data as sunshine percent data is incredibly misleading. |

Saltdal north of the Arctic Circle in 2002. Warmer than average year Jan-Aug, colder Oct-Nov. Doubt if any other place in the world north of the Arctic Circle can have this combination of temperature and precipitation amount, especially in the same year.
Note: There were two days with missing sunhr data. March 31 - a day with few clouds - gave it 6 hours sun. September 30 - a mostly cloudy day - gave it 0 sunhrs. Dec is polar day (in Tromsø) and always has 0 sunhrs.
