I’m going for 4.3c.  Once this cold plunge passes, becoming milder and benign until a increasingly colder second half, but not really cold until last few days. A fair bit of HP influence deflecting LP systems away so only skirting/fleeting Atlantic frontal systems.  Very wet towards the end 50mm

 

so 4.3c and 50mm

Lets go with 3.9 degrees, another very near average month. Expecting a few fluctuations between generally cold and something milder, but no prolonged very mild weather or prolonged very cold weather - but just a hunch things could turn preety cold at the end of the month.

Some snow at times for the north, and a good few frosts as well will make it a wintry month but never especially severe.

CET 2.6C, EWP 47mm.  Probably lots of easterlies mid to late month, hence the low guess, but no prolonged spells of extreme cold.

I'll plump for 5.1c - I can see more Atlantic based weather than anything that cold.

Looks like the way any deep cold failed to have set up during Jan is anticipated by a few cold forecasters to be the same this month.   This was my anticipated average month....nothing unfortunately to change that view.  Good luck

To be honest i wanted something a bit higher but i like going for something on my own (or at least first) as i have never had an outright win.
