  1. Hmm interesting update, something colder afoot in March? I guess after an exceptionally mild February, it's way more likely March will come cooler, though due to the poor performance of these long range updates I'm not yet convinced. Could easily swing to mild, which let's be honest is almost certain lol. 

    Would be comical if March came in colder than all three winter months, as seen in 2013.

  2.  Sherry Lol really? That's like saying who wants hot weather in summer.. 

    Winter is meant to be cold, not freakishly mild like the last few weeks. I hope 2024/25 delivers, been way too long since we've gotten a classic. Can finally pass this wretched winter aside, and look for drier weather in Spring.

  3.  AderynCoch Couldn't have said it any better. Definitely the worst winter month I've ever experienced, next to December 2015. I know it isn't ideal but I hope we see a cold, frosty and sunny March-April to compensate for the absolute dismal conditions we've been facing. This winter has been beyond depressing I've sort of lost hope for the upcoming one.

  4. I'll go out on a whim and say March and April will be cooler than February, quite an interesting statistical quirk. Then we'll see a warm, dry May to end it off. 

    March: CET 5.5-6.0C Cold first half, dry mild second half.

    April: CET 7.5-8.0C Mild days, chilly nights. Lots of sunshine.

    May: CET 13.0C-13.5C Dry and warm for the most part, possibly record breaking warm temperatures at times. 

    Would make an interesting spring!

    Also might be interesting to some, March doesn't need to be cold to still be colder than February this year, depending exactly on what February's CET will end, but likely higher than all of the March averages!

    A rather extreme case this year.. say we get an 8C February, a warm March could still come under it. I'd say the opposite happened in 2013 when February was already cold but March trumped it.  

  6. This February is up there with one of the worst, if not THE worst I've ever experienced. Funny, as these were the charts a month prior.. complete opposite. For a time, it actually looked like it would be the coldest February since 2010.. of course what we're getting is one of the mildest on record. Reminds me of July 2023 which was supposed to be warm given the forecasts, but ended up being the complete opposite. Hilarious.

  7. 2023: 5/10 First half was alright, didn't get any snowfall but was quite cold at times. Second half was a bore fest.

    2022: 6/10 Sunny for the most part, the cold spell at the end was great. Flurries and frosts.

    2021: 3/10 Gloomy and repetitive. The warmth at the end was interesting however. 

    2020: 6/10 Sunny, anticyclonic for the most part

    2019: 5/10 Quite chilly at times, with a few flurries in the first half. 

    2018: 9/10 Excellent month, featuring the BFTE and it's little brother. 

    2017: 1/10 The literal opposite of 2018

    2016: 7/10 Great snowfall on the 4th, reaching 10cm in some parts. Heaviest snowfall ever since.

    2015: 6/10 Anticyclonic and cool. Decent month

    2014: 4/10 Can't remember much.

    2013: 10/10 The bees knees of March's. What a spectacular month that was.

    2012: 2/10 The literal opposite of 2013

    2011: 4/10 Can't remember much

    2010: 7/10 Cold spell at the start of the month, can't recall much afterwards. 

    Don't care for warmth in March, for me it's all about cold.. like for some, how September is for warmth. Some of the best March spells I can remember are in 2010, 2013, 2016, 2018 and the final days of March 2022 where we saw a late snowfall.
