This is the most recent quarterly report detailing the temperature and humidity in York for 2024 Q4 (October to December), using our own custom remote monitoring devices, we track three months of local climatic measurements focusing seasonal variances in comparison with other meteorological periods of the year.
We track, graph and explain indoor and outdoor hygrometer readings throughout this quarter in which temperatures decreased throughout the moving into the deep midwinter months. We evaluate details, averages, highs and lows seen across the period. This is a quarter where temperatures fell, at a time of year when issues with Boiler Pressure Dropping, often linked to water leaks, leads to increased demand from customers locally.
Past data reports we have produced are in a separate hygrometer section of our blog – you can see last quarter’s 2024 Q3 Report – Temperature and Humidity in York report

- The highest outdoor temperature in York was 17.0°C and the minimum was -4.7°C
- The high temperature occurred on October 7th in the afternoon period
- This gives an outdoor range (between high and low) of 21.7°C

- The maximum indoor temperature in York was 20.6°C and the minimum was 15.2°C
- The high was on the Morning of 21st October aided by central heating kicking in

Hygrometer Temperature Trends – 2024 Q4
The graph trend above shows the comprehensive, detailed readings taken over the full quarter, from which the 2024 Q4 highs, lows, range and averages were tracked. It shows daily variances and changes in temperature with highs commonly during the day and lows during the night. As we covered earlier, this period saw gradual lowering in temperatures as we got into November 2024 in particular.
On this chart, you can definitely see the outdoor temperature low in mid to late November, dipping below freezing. Although, October and December where somewhat milder in comparison..
It is really interesting to see how, in comparison to the outdoor readings on the chart (shown in blue) are more erratic than the indoor readings (shown in red) which are in a much narrower band of temperatures, although clearly, having central heating running controlled by an electronic thermostat aids this.

Temperature Ranges in York – 2024 Q4
As you can see in the bar chart above, the inside temperature readings taken from the hygrometer measurements for 2024 Q4 are very closely grouped with over 50% of the readings being at 18-19°C (rounded to the nearest degree). In a noticeable variance, the outside readings are definitely more widespread and diverse.
This is also mirrored somewhat similarly with the comparable humidity level readings, with indoor often being lower most often and not getting anywhere near the maximum readings seen outside. There’s minimal overlap between the two sets of data readings recorded over the winter 2024 period..
Temperature and Humidity by Time of Day – 2024 Q4
The ultimate set of useful recorded points for 2024 Q4 compares at how various times of day affect outdoor readings taken by the hygrometer data trackers. The four familiar groups are:
- Morning – 6am to Noon
- Afternoon – Noon to 6pm
- Evening – 6pm to Midnight
- Night – Midnight to 6am
As you’d usually expect to see in winter as the heat builds up slowly during the day, the afternoon was commonly the warmer part of the day (although that is relative!) in York during 2024 Q4 with the night and following morning being the colder, with evening readings generally hotter on average vs mornings.
