In comparison, December remained relatively mild, with the recent New Year’s Eve being the warmest on record at 16.3C in central London, thanks to hot air from the Azores.
As the temperature dips, Brits will rely on their heating to keep warm. If you are interested in a 2500 litre oil tank before the cold weather sets in, give us a call today.
