Daily mean was 13.7°C on the 15th. I think that's a record for February. 

Last year we didn't reach that temperature until May.

8.1c to the 15th

4.3c above the 61 to 90 average
3.6c above the 81 to 10 average

Well spotted - yes, it's far and away a February record, doubtless the first of many CET records to be set this year. The mean only gets that high in early June!

Yes, it beat the record set in 2004 by 0.9°C.

Also, it's the warmest day for any winter month.

Impressive. I wonder where we'll be next weekend. Could still be 8.0C. 

Impressive indeed!  You just have to wonder where it’ll stop. 

Lets hope it doesn`t and winter,what little of it there was, is now behind us and spring has well and truly sprung😀

I don't actually know the top 5 CET February's.  Does anyone have them?
 

Yes, from my ancient spreadsheet we have:

1779: 7.9
1869: 7.5
1990: 7.3
1998: 7.3
1794: 7.2

We're well overdue for a record there...
