...because there's so much water on Earth. Water holds five-times more heat (per gram) than rock. And since the 75 percent of the Earth's surface is water, the heat built up before December keeps the planet warm until January, when the stored up heat is spent and it gets really cold.

Which month is colder December or January?

January in the uk is the coldest month and December is the second coldest month of the year. January is 0.2 celcius colder than December. In January sea and ground temperatures influence the temperature also the sun is still very low in January and there is not enough solar energy to warm things up so in a way January is like having a second december it just allows the weather to cool off to an even greater extent. December is still a very cold month and this is solely based on the solar radiation hitting the earth in December which will obviously make it have low temperatures.
