WEATHER REPORT FOR 1975
| January was dominated with continuous westerly weather which | ||||||
| gave very mild conditions throughout. A thundery trough on the 12th | ||||||
| caused some severe whirlwinds in the County. There was a snowfall on | ||||||
| the 28th. February, like January was dull, but it was cooler with a spell | ||||||
| of easterly winds. | ||||||
| The dull weather continued through March, which was a wet month. | ||||||
| Very mild for the first week or so, a colder spell then set in which extended | ||||||
| into April. April sported a few of the traditional showers in the second | ||||||
| week, many of which fell as snow. | ||||||
| May was another cool month. There was a sharp frost during the | ||||||
| night of the 30th. Snow fell on the 2nd of June, which despite the wintery | ||||||
| start, turned out to be a dry and sunny month. | ||||||
| There was sunshine on nearly every day in July, which was very | ||||||
| warm, becoming quite hot towards the end. There were intermittent | ||||||
| outbreaks of thundery rain, torrential at times, some of which caused | ||||||
| serious flooding. | ||||||
| August was not as thundery as July, but it had an exceptional | ||||||
| heatwave during the first fortnight. It became generally cooler during | ||||||
| the second half of the month. | ||||||
| September was cool, unsettled with prolonged periods of rain and | ||||||
| proved to be the last wet month for a very long time. October, November, | ||||||
| and December were variable, though generally average, except that they | ||||||
| were dry. | ||||||
