I would imagine some places managed one last year?
Here in Wishaw we have to turn the clock back 14 years to the 6th Feb, 1996.
Even during February 1986 we only managed it once. Though February 1985
managed it three days on the trot. It really is a rare feat here, much more
so than in December or January.
I'm not sure the coming week or two will change that?

Hi, Alex

3rd Feb last year Copley, before that 2006 before that 2003, then
2001, 1999, 1996 etc etc
I'm amazed at your February 1986 figure. From my record I estimate at
least 15 from my previous site 100 metres lower (6 there). Mean max
was 0.9C so I estimate -0.1C or lower here.
Some areas were below 0C for the whole of February 1986 locally. I
estimate the absolute max here was around 1C on the 28th

Best wishes,

My figures are almost very similar to yours, the exceptions being
none in 2003 but one in 1994 (the 14th). In 1986 there were no less
than 15, plus 1st March (max -2.2°C). The mean max for Feb 1986 was
+0.1°C. Just missed!
