Looks like being a classic "month of two halves" here, simple mean for the month so far has climbed to 2.20 °C but still -2.90 °C below the average. Sunshine slightly above average with about 46 hours.

[Ian Williams]

My mean has climbed to 4C but is still -2.5C below the norm until the 20th. Looks like this month will be the first below average month here since August last year.

The last few days has made quite a difference to the monthly mean here but still well below average to the 24th, simple mean of 3.55 °C which is -1.60 °C. Will probably end the month below average despite having a new site record max temp for February.

Using the simple mean, Feb 2012 here has ended 4.62 °C which is -0.64 °C against the site average.

[Ian Williams]

I ended up 0.8C below my rolling February average 1996-2011 but 0.1C above the 1961-1990 average for nearby Plymouth

Mean team here 5°C about average.

[Summertumn1]

So, as we look back at February, I have to wonder just what all those forecasts so publicied in the media that the whole month would be cold were based upon... possibly just by looking at the models or the first two weeks, which accurately predicted cold, and assuming (wrongly) that these conditions would continue into the 2nd half?

I would be interested to see some breakdowns of the 1st and 2nd halves, I wouldn't mind betting that for England and Wales at least, they would be quite exceptionally cold and mild respectively.
