Conclusion

February 2025 was a slightly milder than average month which was completely snowless with a below average number of air frosts.

However, it was also a drier than average month in terms of the actual rainfall amounts but with a slightly above average number of official rain days.

However, February 2025 was also duller than average overall and was a rather disappointing winter month overall.


The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.

The coolest since 2018, but similarly nothing exceptional. Another above average rainfall month.

I left the hours of sunshine in the stats, as although I don't measure this, it's probably not far wrong tbh!!
