February CET

[AderynCoch]

15th-21st January 1881 = -6.44C

That's the coldest week I can find, followed by 6th-12th February 1895 (-6.29C). 26th January - 1st February 1776 came in at -6.24C.

Anyway, I think we can safely say February won't finish below -8.1C.

[guitarnutter]

There have been some cold weeks!

I'm sure we didnt even have a day with the CET below -6C in the past few months!?

We had loads of days/nights with CET below -6 including 3 days in a row here in Bicester last month !

Average!?

[AderynCoch]

We haven't had a CET day below -6C since 13th January 1987.

7th January 2010 came in at -4.6C.

11th December - 7th February CET: 1.8C

[ChrisHell]

Manley has not been updated for a few days.

Hadley 3.6 up to the 7th.

Yesterday came in at 2.1, so Hadley now at 3.4

[kold weather]

I suspect we are heading towards an eventual turn out between 2-3.5C right now, thats the range I'm looking at unless the cold spells becomes very prolonged but as of now I suspect we will see something of a warm up towards the very end of the month and thus an end result more like March 06, in that the first 20 days come in well below average followed by a rise in the CET towards the last week or so.

[The PIT]

3.2c to the 10th -1.1c below normal.

[LomondSnowstorm]

3.2c to the 10th -1.1c below normal.

Not too bad at all. I think a third below average month this winter is almost guaranteed, and I suspect my initial guess of 3.2C (it was something like that!) might end up a bit too high...

[Weather-history]

3.2c to the 10th -1.1c below normal.

Well Ian Brown's prediction made on the 23rd of January and I quote........

"Expect the period Feb 1 to Feb 10 to be the mildest 10 days of the winter thus far CET wise."

.... turned out to be incorrect. The mildest 10 day period for the CET for this winter is still 2nd-11th December with 6.7C

I suspect that it will stay that way as well Ian but who knows!

Something between 3-4C now looks about the finishing point IMO, the set-up for the next 7-10 days looks pretty close to average, what side of average probably will depend on cloud cover amounts.

[reef]

Hadley is 3.0C to the 12th after yesterday came in at 2.7C.

Tomorrow's update will likely see little change as maxima are generally 3-6C and last night came in at -0.1C.

The next week or so looks pretty average, perhaps cool. A lot depends on cloud amounts.

[Guest North Sea Snow Convection]

I'm expecting it to get colder during the second half of Feb with bitterly cold easterly winds. My 3.2C looks like being too high

[kold weather]

Yep I can't see there being much change over the next 7 days or so, after that all depends on what the Atlantic decides to do, either way I can't see the CET coming out much outside the 3-4C range unless we get a decently milder flow for the last week of the month or so.

Mean here yesterday was 2c today 2.2c

Next week does look pretty cold,besides monday which will be the mildest day.

2.9c to the 13th, -1.2c

Does there look like any rise is on the cards in the near future? (I hope not)

[The PIT]

Looks below to average for the time being so a slow slight rise is on but a very slow one.

[kold weather]

Yeah I totally agree Pit, something between 3-4C is going to be the eventual outcome, it looks fairly close to average and therefore only perhaps a very slow rise occuring, I'd have thought a 3rd below average month is very much on the cards.

2.9c to the 13th, -1.2c

No rise likely and indeed I think there is a chance of a further fall off of values as go towards the end of the month

That would be nice, I would be happy to see afigure under 3.0c.

No change to the 15th - yesterday came in at 3.0C

[summer blizzard]

Must admit that my prediction looks to be a bit off, i believe the CET will be in the 2.5C to 3.5C, still quite a bit below average.
