The daily Central England Temperature series is running a little hot at the moment. As of the 18th, this February is currently the warmest back to 1772 with an anomaly of +4.64°C, this meteorological winter [DJFDJF Meteorological Winter comprising the months of December, January & February 2023-24] is the 5th warmest to date with an anomaly of +2.61°C, and this year is the 9th warmest with an anomaly of +2.5°C all with respect to the 1991-2020 LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO.. There’s a good chance that February will be the warmest on record possibly since 1659 when the series started, the winter record looks unlikely to be broken, but who knows about 2024 which is already off to a flying start.
