Warmest December concludes average year

01. January 2016

At our Ludger-Mintrop Urban climate site (LMSS) December 2015 reached an average temperature of 9.8°C. This clearly beats the previous record of 8.1°C set in 1934. While 2015 was exceptionally warm from a global perspective, the months January to October were close to average conditions in Bochum as can be seen in the figure. Explanations for the figure are to be found on our climate pages.
