I can't say how it's been done for legal reasons, but research that I've been doing found that the vast majority of sources of climate predictability indicated a cold Feb and near-average March for the UK this year.

Among the only explanations left for what we've seen instead is a large shift in climate patterns in association with warming global temps. I'm not allowed to reveal the leading theories behind that but mark my words - the predominance of recent anomalous warmth represents a both fascinating and very concerning climatic response.

It will be very interesting to see if this continues over the following months. The majority of long range models have recently been suggesting that sort of thing for pretty much the whole of Europe. Some of the predictions for July are eye-opening to say the least.

Doesn't surprise me global warming is really starting to ramp up now. Interesting what you say about predictions of a hot Europe this year already Tenerife has has its hottest ever March day 34.2c astonishing heat so early in the year.

Absolutely; there is a real sense of urgency about the seasonal heat build this year, similar to last year but with western Europe looking to join in more until at least a little past mid-month. I expect most on here can imagine how snow and ice changes may be factoring into this...

Yes, something seems to be changing.  Whatever, my predictions for Feb and March were way too low. 

I'm toast for this year's cumulative  CET competition.

Will March be another month that fooled us all?  Did we all go too low again?  The way it's rising I wouldn't be surprised.

As far as I can see the three highest predictions are 

markwells 8.2

weatherrfan 8.1

Roger 63 7.75

You and many others. Me included

Anyone know if GW is going to give us the entry list for this month and the results/league table for February?

Its fascinating in 'deckchairs/titanic' kind of way, in a 'we're all stuck on this planet' its not. But, I'm sure you know that. Reading a post like yours so makes me wish I was a climate change sceptic - it must be so reassuring to be sure the concerning & bleeding obvious is wrong...

Meanwhile, its April in March out there.

Just to add to this another heat record gone Alicante in Spain 35c a March record. Madness!

Come on guys, this is a lighthearted thread about central England temperatures for the current month. That's weather, not climate, so Let's keep the more serious climate talk in the climate forum Pleeeease!  Thank you!  

So, another above average day here, although the temp did drop a bit more during the night. I can only see the CET rising this week and then we'll be two thirds into the month, so a fair cool down will be needed for most of us.
