How above average can this December get? (days, city, most)

[nei]

Forecast has 61 on Christmas Eve, I've seen 50 several times, but 60? Next weekend looks almost normal with highs in the low 40s

I think he's ''impressed'' as in surprised.

Current temp here is 12c feels colder than that.

Here the LTA mean (from Balzan) for December is 14.7C, my mean up to today is running at 17.2C. But my minimums are higher anyway as Balzan is inland, so if I compare the LTA high of 17.5C, mine is running at 19.1C, so still above average... Of more concern here is how dry it has been, the LTA December rainfall is 107.7mm, so far this month I have recorded just 0.8mm! And all forecasts have the high pressure lasting through until at least the New Year...

15C again today, it was 13C at 1 in the morning! Sky is clear now so it might drop a bit more tonight, if the cloud stays away.

With an average temperature of 53.7 F, this was the second warmest first half of December on record. Only 2001 was warmer.

13.3C/9.6C for the month so far up to now. Amazing!

That's a mean of 11.5C or 53F

I read that NYC is expected to come in at about 14 degrees above normal for the month of December.

This is freaking nuts, man!

One night was about 18°C above normal here. If that was a July high it would be 40°C which is unthinkable. This is the third consecutive ultra warm winter here though, maybe this is the new normal.
