Default Question about current mild weather

"Gavin Staples" wrote in message


The wind at present is blowing up from the Canaries region, which by its
nature is warm at any time of the year. The speed of the wind is limiting
its cooling by the time it arrives here.


In 1998 we had this except I believe the source of air was even further
south. As it was slightly later in February temperatures were higher than
what is being recorded now. The later in the month this occurs, the higher
the temperatures will be.


I am the last person in the world to ask for an explanation of a weather
map but I just looked at:
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/tkfaxbraar.htm for 13th Feb 1998.
It looks to me like your explanation is shot down by it.
