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 :-) )

Wasn't there a 19.6C recorded in Feb 1998?

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).
