Lol, there would be no precipitation as it would be steam at that temperature. 

I was trying to out do Craig Evans

Change to 2.6 (exclusive entry as reason, midnight looms)

 

I will wait until 4th of Feb (at 0001h most likely) to post tables in the Scoring and Competition thread, the main reason being that I can't seem to retain an edit function very long so until I solve that, I don't want to post two sets, one today and another one then. However, here's a general summary of the entries as we approach the on-time deadline ... numbers in brackets represent multiple entries at that value. Median (consensus) is bold type.

 

Temps: 

 

6.0 and above ... 6.5, 6.8, 7.5, 7.9, 10.0

5.5 to 5.9 ... 5.7, 5.8, 5.9

5.0 to 5.4 ... 5.0 (4), 5.2 (4), 5.3, 5.4

4.7 to 4.9 ... 4.7 (5), 4.8 (4), 4.9 (2)

4.4 to 4.6 ... 4.4 (2), 4.5 (2), 4.6

4.0 to 4.3 .... 4.0 (3), 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 (2)

3.6 to 3.9 .... 3.6 (2), 3.7 (2), 3.8, 3.9

3.0 to 3.5 .... 3.0, 3.2, 3.3 (4), 3.4 (2), 3.5 (2)

2.0 to 2.9 .... 2.0, 2.1 (2), 2.2 (2), 2.4 (2), 2.6, 2.7 (2), 2.9

1.9 and below .... -0.3, 0.6, 0.8, 1.7, 1.9

then for precip we have these forecasts:

 

150 mm and above ... 252, 500

130.0 to 149.9 mm

110.0 to 129.9 mm

100.0 to 100.9 mm .... 100 (2), 102

I’m fairly confident this is going to the coldest month of the winter. 2.1C thanks potentially exceptional cold for a week, only for second half to subdue extreme cold anomaly. Rainfall near average 69mm.

 I never saw a need to change this well if GFS 18z is right it is setting up to be a sub zero month. A very cold feb has been a long time coming - 2018 is going to have a go for it IMO. 

[Fozfoster]

I see a rush to lower some predictions Gfs 18 effect I presume ?

[Norrance]

3.1C and 54 mms please.

[Timmytour]

Whoops!   a tad late! The start of the month crept up on me

Going to a very warm end to a pretty cold start    5.2C   40mm

 

[Duncan McAlister]

2.8C for me please.

___________________________________________________________

The last cold record set in February was 32 years ago (11 Feb 1986)

The last warm record set in February was 6 years ago (23 Feb 2012)

Feb 1779 managed to average 7.9 without breaking (setting at that early stage) any of the existing daily records. The oldest surviving warm record is 10.2 from 14 Feb 1794. 

[The PIT]

Well the sudden change in the models into suddenly very cold weather rather than the mobile transient weather we saw in Jan has scuppered my chances already.

[NorthYorksWeather]

4.0c to the 1st, 0.2c above the 1981-2010 average.

[Sky Full]

3.4C sounds about right.  Next few days will have a significant influence on the final result of course!

87mm - a complete guess as this could go either way!

[coram]

A long shot, but there could be some new day records set in the middle of the month.11th, 18th, 19th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd all possible.

[Summer Sun]

4.6 to the 1st

0.4 above the 61 to 90 average

0.2 above the 81 to 10 average
