Default Cold spell? What cold spell?


Feb 7 to Feb 20 2006 (Solent compared to Bognor averages)

Mean Max 7.7; long term mean max 9.0; deficit 1.3 deg C.
Mean Min 3.0; long term mean min 3.5; deficit 0.5 deg C.
Overall mean deficit 0.9 deg C.

The last week or two has been nowhere near what I'd describe as a
March cold spell - not down here anyway. How cold has it been
elsewhere?

After an excursion to the dizzy heights of 9.9°C yesterday (with strong
thermals as well-apparently)it's back to colder conditions here with a Tmax
of 5.0° late morning and then settling at 4.0° most of the afternoon. Still
on to be the coldest March on record here (since 1979) with a monthly mean
of 3.1°(-3.3LTA). Mean max 6.4°, mean min -0.3°,precipitation 23.8mm (50%)
and sunshine 77hrs (72%) so far.

All the best
