Dear Diary,
2022 was the warmest year in Central England in a monthly series that started back in 1659, the mean of 11.1°C was +1.7°C above the 1659-2020 LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO.. It’s been on the cards for many months now that 2022 would be the warmest, and thankfully now that it’s finally been confirmed, we can move on to the next extreme. Seriously though Central England is warming at an incredible rate at the moment, the 50 year linear trend is running at +0.258°C per decade, and if it keeps going on like this people will begin to talk.
