February 2023 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests

[Weather Enthusiast91]

I think it will be a fairly quiet month for the most part with high pressure close by bringing anticyclonic gloom and relatively mild conditions. Though the last few days will be cold, sunny and frosty, much like the cold spell we had in December.

Overall 6.2°C and 52mm.

[syed2878]

Can’t see any cold for February maybe end will hold some interest so for February, I am going with 8.2C and 52 mm precipitation.

[feb1991blizzard]

Unfortunately it looks like i'll be revising upwards now (both competitions), to what i haven't decided, still far from writing off Feb as a whole but if any significant cold does occur, it's likely to be so late it wouldn't rescue the CET to below average, unless either the zonal first part is cold zonal (signposted on a small but significant cluster) and / or a ferociously cold last week / 10 days for late feb.

[SteveB]

6.1c and 96mm please.

[BLAST FROM THE PAST]

I’m very comfortable with 7c, could even be higher.

A repeat of 2020 would certainly be a disaster, in just about every way. A month with no saving graces whatsoever - after five wet months before it, we certainly didn't need the rainfall! And Feb 2020 was, IIRC, completely dominated by frontal rainfall, too - it didn't even have the out-of-season convective action that 2014 did at times. The worst winter month of any name for me - beating even December 2015.

I'd take a 2020 repeat (obviously without the covid!) if it meant having an incredible period of spring weather again!  Soooo sunny!

[NeilN]

3.9c and 88mm. 

[The PIT]

Going for 5.8C and 60mm of rain.

[Dancerwithwings]

6.1c & 57mm…1st half is just mild but the second half is still not totally decided…could be brrr …Mmmm

But my guess is going a whole 1c above the 30 year average….we’ll see 🫣

[snowblind]

2.1 and 40mm please.

[Rob 79812010]

4.6 for me please! Got a feeling second half of Feb will be colder

[SteveB]

Slight change 

6.1c and 63mm please.

3.2C and 33mm.

Anticyclonic to start, then maybe some easterly influence. Perhaps not a full on beast, but something in the way of cold and snow at the end

A very dry month

 

Are you allowed to change your guess? If so then I revise upwards to 4.7, and stay 33mm

Note to self, wait until the very end of the month before guessing

[Summer Sun]

6.2c for me please

[Roger J Smith]

6.7 and 53.7 mm

[Typhoon John]

6.4c please

[Shillitocettwo]

Extremes haven't worked for me in January.

    So I'm changing rack and going for a very average straight 6.0.C (average adjusted for climate change) and a devilish 66mm.

    Within that a good few days of snow late in the month otherwise tilted mild

[Leo97t]

6.4c and 64mm

Pretty much nailed to be a milder than average month, question is by how much.

I think you could well be correct! 

[DR(S)NO]

6.5c and 65mm 

thank you please 

[SLEETY]

6.9c 68 mm.

Another write-off for February regarding cold and snow.The endless crud of Jan and Feb as winter months continues just regard them as spring month in temperature!
