January 2007 is certain to be the mildest January ever recorded at the
Brussels Uccle site where observations started in 1833.

Average January temperature will be between 7.1ºC and 7.3ºC.
Previous mildest January was in 1834 with an average of 6.9ºC.

Not surprising that daffodils are already in full bloom on the grass
