Frost and ice days in the CET series
TIME SERIES analysis of frost and ice data from the ENGLAND CET data set
No surprise the trend has been down . Some hope for an increase with a massive anomolous event in 2000. Maybe signs of a swing to more frosts and ice in coming years for ENGLAND?
XMETMAN says
“The noticeable thing from the bottom graph is the linear trend on the total number of frost days in a year has reduced from around 52 a year in 1878, to only 35 days in 2014.”
