  1. Philip Eden going for 4.05c for February

    CET: (Feb 1-29): 4.05°C (-0.45 degC) E&W Rain: (Feb 1-29): 30.8mm ( 46 per cent) E&W Sun: (Feb 1-29): 77.0hr ( 92 per cent) © Philip Eden (If you wish to use or copy these figures, please acknowledge the source)

  2. It is strange that the run of above average months since September look set to continue. Surely the law of averages must change things now.

    Its probable February will finish below average after adjustments, ok very slightly below average! Law of averages doesnt really do weather, sure we had a run or over 10 above average months only a few years back.

  3. serious drought here, local stream is almost empty and its mid winter and has been very low for over a year. So far this year we have had 56mm of rain, thats about 55% of what we should have had, and thats followed 66.5% of average rainfall for whole of last year. So very dry.

    Incidentally this month there has been 32.5% of the rainfall we should expect and at the same time only 52% of the sunshine! So it has been very dry but also very dull!

  4. Another big leap in the CET: up to 0.7C now and that's still 12 hrs shy of the mid-point. Something in the 3C's likeliest from here? But possibly over 4C.

    Just to illustrate the east west split on the CET for this month (I mentioned before the westerly bias of the CET stations) our local proper weather station (not digital) which is on the eastern side of the CET imaginary rectangle still has a average of -0.5c for the month up to today, compared with the official CET or +0.7c

  5. Hadley is on 0.2C today (Feb 1 - 13).

    Looking at today's 06z GFS model overall it looks fairly mild until month end. Not sure the CET can get above average unless we have a fairly constant feed of TM air but an outcome between 3C and 4C is certainly feasible.

    Latest enembles would give us an average by the end of month as about spot on 4c, remarkabley warm given the cold of last week, I live on edge of CET zone and hardly got above freezing all week and had 2 lows sub -10c, I have a question, to me the location of the stations looks skewed to the west! Which is why despite most of central England having lows of -10c or lower on Saturday and Sunday the CET stations only recorded lows of -5c or so, likewise the high for Saturday was -3c and the CET stations recorded wall above that.

    Another point worth noting, this year is a leap year, so February has an extra day, would this not skew figures for the month compared to other February's? Ok its only one in 29 days but its at the end of the month so likely to be warmer than the month average as a whole, any thoughts?
