A very herp derpish month, the wettest January ever recorded in Nice with a monsoonish total of 284mm so far (will end at around 290mm "thanks" to some residual light rain today).
The completely sunless streak of heavy rain from Jan 16 to Jan 19 was particularly unpleasant.
Rather mild conditions prevailed with high temps exactly average and low temps a couple degrees milder than normal.
Interestingly, the month's highest temperature of 18.5°C was recorded at sunrise due to a foehn effect, and only one hour after the month's lowest temperature of 4°C - an usually quick warmup for Nice; 2 hours later, temps were back to normal levels.
Predictably, it was also a cloudy month with only around 120 hours of bright sunshine.
TL;DR A complete failure of a winter month, other than the interest of beating the all-time record of rainfall total for January.
January 2014 in Zagreb:
Average high: 8.4c (+5.3)
Average low: 1.7c (+5.7)
Precipitation: 78.1 mm (+29.5)
Sunshine: 35 hours (-24.4)
Lowest high: -3.2c on the 26th
Highest low: 9.4c on the 18th
Overall, the third warmest January on record, with the first twenty days being the warmest ever (10.5/3.7 for the 1-10th and 12.5/4.2 for the 11-20th) and with no frost until the 25th. If it weren't for the cooldown in the last few days, it would have been the warmest ever.
record high: 5.7C (8th)
record low: -17.5C (14th)
lowest high: -12.8C (14th)
highest low: 3.8C (8th)
precipitation: 36.7 mm
days above 1 mm: 7
snow, around 6 cm
sun, around 60 hours
Despite a very mild start (avg high 4.3C until the 10th), the month was clearly below normal as a whole. 7 days failed to climb above -10C, and 15 nights were below -10C.
