Anomalies are with respect to the 1961-90 averaging period. However, anomalies with respect to the 1971-2000 averaging period are available from http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk Mean temperatures over most of the UK were slightly above normal for the February. Temperatures over Nor thern Ireland and parts of north and east Scotland were above average by about 1.0 dec C, whereas in parts of SW England they were close to average. Rainfall was well below average in Nor thern Ireland, Wales and western Scotland, all of which had the driest February since 1993. It was also much drier over much of western England. In contrast, rainfall was above average in East Anglia and parts of SE England and eastern Scotland, largely due to the snowfalls early in the month. Sunshine was generally below normal across most of the UK and it was the dullest February since 1998 over Scotland and Northern Ireland and the dullest since 1993 over England and Wales.

1 District values for each element are computed using all available climate stations, excluding rooftop sites for minimum air temperature. The values in the table may not be compatible with other time series (eg. Central England Temperature, England and Wales Rainfall). 2 Highest maximum and lowest minimum air temperatures for each district are determined by calculating 95 percentiles. 3 Raindays are the number of days during which the total precipitation is at least 0.2mm.
