February CET

[Weather-history]

8C February 2009 CET

It would be interesting to know what Craig's average of being out by is. Even April 2007, one of the closest he has come to, he was still out by 1.3

with a very cold looking start forecast and a potential reload/ blocked scenario I rekon it will be a cool one 3.1 for me please

[V for Very Cold]

well I enjoyed the January one with its ups and downs and whilst I would love to have a nice cold Feb, I'm plumping for 4.3^oC

[Typhoon John]

I'll go for 2.8.

Probably a bit optimistic though.

[Nick L]

I am going to change mine to 2.6c please.

[Mark H]

2.9 for me please.

Looks like the best chance of breaking the 3c barrier for a long time. Really hope that Feb will consign that horrid 'even larger teapot' phrase to the dustbin.

[osmposm]

Best chance for a long time, I agree, Mark - but I don't think it'll make it, with a bitter first half but a much milder last third: my guess is a still chilly

+3.3^oC

(partly chosen 'cos no-one else has picked 3.0 or 3.3 yet, and I fear 3.0's too low!)

4.7*C

I remember being in Hawes during the Feb half term last year. We ate our picnic outside on the South facing slopes and wore short sleeves. February was, for a couple of days, more summer-like than most of the summer days. It could happen again.

[Duane S.]

I'll plump for 2.5

[kold weather]

Just like the first 7 days of Jan, Feb is looking like having a very cold start to the month, maybe not quite as severe as Jan but still well below average. Its once again going to come down to how long the cold can hang on for, In Jan it just didnt hold long enough for sub 3C but we shall have to wait and see...

[stormchaser1]

Thought i put my punt up before , obviously not well

here goes

2.5c for me please

My final prediction is a bang on average 4.2C, both my methods call for a 1.5C anomoly in either direction, so while i would love to trust the negative one, i will play it safe.

[casparjack]

1.7c

To be honest, SB, if I were using techniques that produce such a large range [anything from 2.7 to 5.7], I would be seriously questioning the techniques.

I think the cold start is pretty well nailed on now. The question is how sustained will the cold likely to be. FWIW I think it is our best chance since 1991 (1.5C) and 1996 (2.5C). So I'm splitting the difference with 2.0C as my guess.

The majority of the time there is a very low range produced, just 0.5C in December, however January and February have been particulaly conflicting.

[The watcher]

Well judging by current indications I'd say a below/well below average month is on the cards, therefore 2.4c for me.

[BLAST FROM THE PAST]

After seeing the damage 'average' temps cause the CET in Jan I see a similar scenario in Feb but with a colder start so I'll plump for 3c

BFTP

[West is Best]

4.5C please

Cold start, then mild but with at least one more cold snap in the mix.

[Terminal Moraine]

The blindfold is in place, the pin is in hand. I stab down..... and it's 3.4c.

[Great Plum]

I'll go for 2.7c again this Feb!

[Don]

Ok, I'm going for a CET of

3.7C

After a cold start, I think we'll see a milder spell (though not very mild) and then see things turn colder again around mid month.

[sundog]

3.6c for me please. cold first half of the month then generally milder

[Potent Gust]

I will go for a below average 3.2c. thanks

[stewfox]

3.4c for me please

Another cold month
