Record breaking February, mild winter
"No one could have missed that February was record breaking. Daily maximum temperatures have been the highest on record (dating back to 1910), averaging out at 10.0C, ahead of the 9.8C recorded in 1998. In total 21 locations in the Met Office observing network broke previous national (England, Scotland, Wales) records, some of these on multiple days. On 26 February, the previous UK record (19.7 at Greenwich on 13th February 1998) was broken as far north as Rochdale, Greater Manchester (20.4 C) and Myerscough, Lancashire (19.8 C).
Looking at winter (Dec-Jan-Feb) the season was warm and dry for the country as a whole, but not record breaking. There were some regional differences, for example it was the 23rd driest for the UK but the 4th driest for east Scotland and the driest since 1964, while it was the 6th sunniest for the UK but the 2nd sunniest for E. Anglia, and east and north east England."
