2021
A relatively mild December, with some periods of heavy rain. The month was noted for the warmer daytime temperatures over the last three days of the year. However, and despite press reports, warmer days in December in this region are not unusual and this year's highs are not record breakers for the month by any means.

Monthly weather reports for AUGUST 2021
Whilst
the rest of the Country was basking in the “hottest year ever recorded”,
Glanton was subject to a very mediocre August, cooler than average and wetter
than average. It felt at times that autumn had come earlier than usual.
It is
interesting to note that, although average surface temperatures have allegedly risen
around the World, atmospheric temperatures as measured by satellite, have not
changed for the last twenty years.

Monthly weather reports for JANUARY 2021
A fairly typical January really; very wet at times with snow
on several days and some deep night-time frosts. The notable feature was the
general lack of wind caused by high pressure blocking the advancing depressions
in the West. Due to this lack of wind and our increasing dependence on wind as
a power generating source, we came close to power black-outs on more than one occasion
during the month.
