Using the daily means gives 8.17°C which provisionally puts Dingle Rob and Spring Sun Winter Dread nearest the mark at just 0.03°C out.

Wallaw then tops the table despite a 1.0°C error for February.

The mean error across all entrants would then be just 0.3°C which must be among the lowest on record and is all the more impressive considering the month was 1.43°C above the 1991-2020 average.

So the 2 winners were now only 0.01C out on that basis

Well done to both of them

As such there's not much change in the leader board. I wonder what April will bring!
