The weather in the UK for December 2019 was completely unremarkable in all respects, yet again. Let’s hope 2020 is more interesting!
The meteorological year starts in December which is why December appears as the 1st data point in the charts below. More information on the layout of the charts can be found in this post. Points lying between the upper and lower deciles are shown as open black circles, points lying between the deciles and minimum/maximum are shown as solid black circles and any month with a new record is shown as solid black squares.
As I explained in October 2018, the addition of a Temperature Range chart (B) means I update 7 charts every month so I rotate which 6 appear 
in the deck above and plot the 7th as a separate chart here. Since it is Winter, Sunshine (chart G) is shown here since that is of least interest in these months.
How abnormal was December 2019?
Chart H displays my UK Weather Abnormality Index (Scroll down my May 2019 post for details). The closer to zero this 
index is, the less abnormal and thus more “average” a month is. The higher it is, the more abnormal the month is. When the index is over 100%, we can describe the month as unusual in some way.
The abnormality index was 45% in November 2019 making the month unremarkable.
