The Met Office would love people to think that there is such a thing as a “normal” British climate; any variation from this norm now can then be labelled as an example of a “changing climate”.

There are averages of course, average temperatures, rainfall and so on. But averages and norms are two different things, the former being merely an arithmetic construct.

A look back at the Met Office archives shows just how variable our weather was 100 years ago. The list below shows the headlines for each monthly weather report, with a bit more detail from those reports in some months.
