These final averages use quality-controlled data from the UK climate network of observing stations. They show the Met Office's best assessment of the weather that was experienced across the UK during Winter 2003/2004 and how it compares with the 1961 to 1990 average.

The columns headed 'Anom' (anomaly) show the difference from or per cent of the 1961-90 long-term average.
