Sorry prediction table will be forthcoming in the next couple of days. Not even looked at any of the predictions yet. My grovelling excuses are set out in the Feb thread!

Wonder how big the fall will be from today until tomorrow in terms of daily mean, biggest drops I can find in recent times in March are:

3rd March 1987 to 2nd March 1987  0.8 from 7.1 (6.3 change)

31st March 2010 to 30th March 2010 4.1 from 9.6 (5.5 change)

27th march 1995 to 26th march 1995 3.9 from 9.3 (5.4 change)

 

biggest ever march change  28th march 1777  to 27th March 1977 6.3 from 14.8 (8.5 change) and 1821  5th March to 4th March 0,7 to 9.2 (8.5 change).

 

Provisional figures show.

8.9 on friday to 1.4 on saturday  so 7.5 change which I make the biggest fall on a march day since 1821 and only bettered by the two above examples.

 

Just done the same for the Max and based on the provisional figures and this Saturday had the biggest drop from a previous March day on record:

16th 12.2
17th 2.1

-10.1 2018 17 th Prov
-10 1944 29 th
-9.3 1954 13 th
-7.7 1990 19 th
-7.3 1929 31 th
-7.3 1941 17 th
-7.1 1918 25 th
-7.1 1969 16 th
-7 1965 30 th
-7 2007 18 th

It's not like Arty to post these things onto the wrong thread but then, I suppose that this happens to the best of us at times.

I think that you had put it into February's thread by mistake, so you can always check there.

No, sadly the Warsop station hasn’t been any help by being down. I’ll keep looking at it just in case it’s just teething problems!  But the one at Marples Hill is less than four miles away and is fairly representative of the weather IMBY.

1. Is there a typo in the Metcheck figures? Yesterday they were:

Metcheck                           4.05c        Anomaly      -1.11c

So today's values seem inconsistent with those.

2. Presumably the stations reporting anomalies of 4 degrees or more have only been going for a few years, so that their mean values haven't had a chance to "settle down" yet.

Were it not for March 2013 then we would surely be looking down the barrel of our coldest March for several decades??

And once again I am going to get destroyed in the table because I hoped it would get milder and by and large it's failed. Just hoping now that we will follow the pattern of 2006 and 2013 which also had miserable cold starts to "spring", and get a decent summer...

As the CET is now running at 4.4C, I imagine that it will probably edge up a bit before the end of the month but probably won't reach 5. Excluding 2013, the most recent Marches to come in at under 5 were 2006 with 4.9 and 1996 with 4.5.
