I had an odd thought just now: suppose this year was a leap year - what
would the mean temperature for February be? The mean temperature for the 1st March was -0.5C - adding this to February's temperatures as though it was the 29th February brings the February mean down by 0.2C. As February was 0.1C above the eLTA, that would be the difference between a slightly above average month and a slightly below average month temperature-wise. Then I thought: but the end of February is quite often cold. So does the leap-year effect show up? Are there statistically more cold Februaries attributed to leap-years than other years? I might be wrong, but as least it might provide someone with a few interesting minutes to find out ![]() -- Jonathan Stott Canterbury Weather: http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/ Reverse my e-mail address to reply by e-mail |
