Good afternoon, all

Most of Holland enjoyed a marvellous spring-like day! Temperature has never
been so high in February (since recording) 15.7 C at the Bilt. At my site
15.5 C. The old De Bilt record was 15.5 C (February 2nd 2002).

Excuses, you're right, Philip! Its the record for the first third of
February ( we call it "decade"; first 10 days).
The other warmth-records a (warm days you've mentioned :-) )
13 Feb 1998 16.2 C (second third )
(20 Feb 1990 16.9 C)

How far back does the De Bilt record go? I think there is one that goes way
back - is it that one?

Peter,
the records of the "De Bilt" site go back to 1897. The KNMI is founded on
January 31 1854, but its first domicile was at the Observatory in the centre
of Utrecht. Of course as instruments change during the years you can't
simply compare data. But that's a problem all Meteorological Institutes have
to face.

Sorry, for any inconvenience, Adam. These figures are for De Bilt, centre of
the Netherlands. The absolute Dutch February max temp, comes from Maastricht
Airport; its 19.1 C, Febr. 24 1990. (Source: Klimaatatlas van Nederland).
