It now looks like the last three days of the month will be very mild indeed which will push the CET back up a fair bit. Another cold day tomorrow followed by an average day on Friday and then a very pleasant weekend to come.

My CET estimate for March is now at 7.60C

...and all after such a chilly start. This competition really belongs in a casino

I reakon April's got a chance of coming in colder than 7.6.

Reckon you might be pretty happy with that!  

I'm happy enough with that, would be 0.4 off same as Feb but i was too late with that prediction  I'm with Gavin, think April could be colder than March, winter could be set to arrive for you guys, it usually does, you never totally escape normally, same as 1998 and 1989, can't say that it will be welcomed

Based on looking through the historical records and some not unreasonable extrapolation I think its possible to reasonably say that snow is only impossible after ~20th June and before 20th September to lower levels in the UK. So three months to go for the most obsessive snow watchers, and only a 3 month summer break.

I might do okay if there is a large downward correction and some low cloud/fog over the weekend.

On 5.7C here which is +0.4C, we may edge up a bit the next couple of days as overnights are higher even if fog spoils the days.

Out of interest does anyone have the list of warmest first quarter of the year?

J, F and M have all been pretty warm but none exceptionally so, still we are running close to +2C year to date. Must be in the top 10 I'd think.
