Winter isn’t dead but it’s lying in bed attached to a drip. Tick tock.. ⏰

Winter has gone, a flunk for me although I wish I updated my LRF on 3/12/18 as per my signature .  So I have 2 more to go to have a major winter in the 3 year period.  Got to say as winter goes this has been bad for cold and snow......fortunately many other places have had record snow amounts.....pure greed

Aboyne has set a new Scotland February record of 18.3c beating the previous record of 17.9C from 1897

Not surprised given we have a Foehn effect, but I'm increasingly questioning how easily we seem to be breaking date records and month records, similiar synoptics will have occurred in years gone by.. the sun isn't any warmer is it? - I'm beginning to doubt the accuracy of yesteryear readings..

Although having said that the flip is also the prolonged summer set up last year rarely looked like challenging date heat records.

I agree also re the accuracy on past readings

Perhaps it's the greenhouse effect?

That setup from late Feb 2006 that you post was amazingly warm for its synoptics; it was warmer than a similar pattern at the same time in late Feb 2005.

Would tend to agree, far too many of them now up and down the country.

Not those greenhouses... Funny how people complain when mild records are being beaten, lets face it this winter was rubbish for cold as have most winters since the late 1980s.

But ah yes, lets blame those temperature readings instead...

Based on how many years of official records?

Alberta and Edmonton go back to the 1880s

Fairly obvious I’d have thought. Many more warm records are being broken now than cold records.

Similar to early February 1986,would call it warm.

The Met office are awaiting the temperature from Achnagart to be verified before confirming the UK's warmest February night on record

NW Scotland was crazy warm, some stations we're at 15-16c even in the early hours of the day. Even for summer it'd be a decently warm night up there.

Worrying times me thinks.  Something isn’t right.

What about last summer, perfect Synoptics but we couldn’t break warmth records which surprised me, so I wouldn’t worry too much for our small island.  I’d worry far more for large swathes of Canada and US with the amount of record snow and cold gone/going on.

I think what is really telling is the all time temperature records.

Globally since March 2018 221 Max record highs have been broken. Only 15 low Max temperature, of which 7 came from the US PV in Jan. So over 10x number of high records compared to low records for the max temperature.

Kind of tells it's own story unfortunately.

Snowyowl is referring to the start of the month rather the whole of February 1986. 

Believe it or not the first 3 days of this February were colder than those of February 1986 of which the chart above was from. Infact Manchester didn't record a sub zero minimum until the 6th of February 1986.
