*****RAINFALL ISSUES***** Please note that the rainfall issues I encountered at the end of December 2024 and in early January 2025 have been resolved.
Review of December 2024. It was a mild and relatively dry month overall. Monthly mean air temperature = 8.5C, 1.0C above the long term average (LTA) (1991-2020)). Mean daily maximum temperature = 10.7C (0.3C above LTA). Mean daily minimum temperature = 6.2C (1.6C above LTA). Highest air temperature = 14.7C on 15th. Lowest air temperature = 2.2C on 4th. Lowest grass minimum temperature = -1.7C on 20th & 23rd. Highest air minimum temperature = 12.8C on 1st. Days with air frost = 0. Days with ground frost = 4.
Monthly total precipitation (measured in manual 5 inch diameter copper rain gauge) = 45.3mm (45% of LTA). Davis rain gauge total = 44.2mm. Wettest day recorded by copper gauge = 11.5mm on 17th (the 17th covering the period from 9am GMT on 17th to 9am GMT on 18th). Days when precipitation total 0.2mm or greater = 23, 1mm or more = 11, 5mm or more = 2, 10mm or more = 1.
Annual review for 2024. Overall mean temperature = 12.42C (0.77C above LTA). This was the 4th warmest in my series extending back to 2008, with 2023 being wamest (12.65C). Mean maximum temperature = 15.63C (0.73C above LTA). Mean minimum temperature = 9.21C (0.81C above LTA). Highest temperature during 2023 = 28.4C on 30th July, some way below my record temperature of 31.8C recorded on 17th June 2022. Lowest air temperature = -3.4C on 9th January, the lowest minimum temperaure since 28th Feb 2018 when I recorded -4.7C. Air frosts = 6 (LTA = 11.1) (5 in Jan and 1 in Nov). This was seven less than in 2023. Ground frosts = 41 (17 in Jan, 7 in Feb, 9 in Mar, 4 in Nov and 4 in Dec), 9 less than 2023. There are no long-term statistics for grass frost in Teignmouth although my average for the period 2009-2024 is 63 grass frosts (and 11 air frosts for the same period). Total rainfall (manual copper gauge) = 1146.4mm (131% of LTA). This was a little more than the 1120.4mm that I recorded in 2023. 2024 was the wettest year since 2012. Wettest day of 2024 was 8th Jul when 42.2mm was recorded. Rain or heavy dew amounting to 0.2mm or greater was measured on 199 days, 21 less than in 2023. During the period 2009-2024 the annual average was 201 days.

The tables above show weather conditions recorded by a Davis Vantage Pro 2 automatic weather station sited in Teignmouth, South Devon. They are usually updated every 10 minutes. All times are Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), so add one hour for British Summer Time (BST).
* Air temperature is measured 1.9m above ground level and the anemometer is just 2.2m above ground level in a NNW/SSE oriented valley. The wind direction is therefore heavily biased towards either the up or down valley direction and the anemometer is very sheltered from the prevailing westerly flow by higher ground directly upstream. The thermistor that measures grass tip temperature only has a resolution of 1 degree Fahrenheit and this has been automatically converted into Celcius to the nearest 0.1 degrees. A grass temperature of < 0°C indicates the occurrence of a ground frost (air temperature < 0°C indicates an air frost). The leaf wetness sensor monitors the level of surface moisture on foliage and hence the occurrence of dew, fog, drizzle, rain etc. Soil moisture is measured in centibars (cb) [0-10cb = saturated soil, 10-30cb = ground adequately wet, 30-100cb = ground needs irrigating to maintain maximum production, 100-200 cb = ground dry. ]. The strength of the sun's ultraviolet radiation is expressed as a UV index and was developed by the World Health Organization. As a guide 0-2 = low, 3-5 = medium, 6-7 = high, 8-10 = very high, 11+ = extreme. You can safely stay outside if UV is low, and it is recommended that you wear sunscreen if levels are moderate or higher, and seek shade if levels are high or above. In Teignmouth UV levels reach 7 in mid-summer and may reach 8 on exceptional days.
