The mean temperature for February 2024 in Central England as far as I can make out was 7.77°C. That wasn’t just quite high enough to beat the mean of 7.9°C in 1779 into second place, but was still a very mild +2.8°C above the 1991-2020 LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO. for the month.
