Im not really sure what the warmest day is, but 4th February 2004 is more than likely a contender. The average for that day was 12.8C. The minima and maxima in the CET zone were 10.8C and 14.5C.

I remember a January day a couple years back which had a day with a max temp of 18C? Can anyone confirm that?

i know the clodest temperature ever recorded was minus 37.8c for england in 1970s

I dont know where u got that figure from but it is completely wrong. The coldest temperature ever recorded in the UK is -27.2 which was recorded in the mid 1990s in Scotland.

19.7C was recorded at Greenwich on the 13th February 1998 and as far as I'm aware thats the highest maximum recorded during the winters months (Dec, Jan, Feb)

12th December 1994 beats that by 0.1C for the mean with 12.9C, I think that is the highest CET mean for a winter's day in the records since 1772

Wasn't there an early 2000s day when the Fohn affect at Braemar produced some truly remarkable warmth for winter?

Ian, I think that the Fohn effect has on more than one day given January maxima of 18.3 in the eastern Highlands?

Somewhat nervously, is Mr Data correct in giving 13th February 1998 as the date when 19.7 was recorded at Greenwich? I had thought that it was 14th February?

Well I was right to be nervous in contradicting Mr Data: he was right. My apologies.
