January and February is when it normally gets cold here.
People like to pretend that Christmas was a time of snow and ice, but that's pretty rare. Dickens wrote about them, but his childhood coincided with the coldest decade in over a century.
Mate what? You typically see -3 to maybe 7C. It's 13-14C today it seems. That's not normal.
The warmest Christmas in UK history is 15C. Yesterday was the hottest Christmas eve since 1997. We won't know until tomorrow if today is the hottest Christmas on record.
