Looking at the visible satellite image of Europe there is still much
snow on the ground over quite an extensive area, which is probably why we don't really seem to be warming up atm. This is going to take some time to shift and subsequently leave us with another below average month as far as temperature is concerned. Springs a coming, but it's a slow slog I'm afraid :-( Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net |

Even a change to northerly later this week will see the west warming up a little, as we lose that easterly. Wild daffs flowering in the woods behind tha house today, but it could stil be a below average CET or UK month, as you say, with this cold start. |

Wild daffs flowering in the woods behind tha house today, but it could stil be a below average CET or UK month, as you say, with this cold start. According to Philip Eden's website, the CET for the first 8 days of March was only 2.5°C, with an anomaly of -3.0. (That anomaly is relative to the mean for the first 8 days rather than that for the whole month, which of course would be higher. The mean CET for the whole of March for 1971-2000 seems to be 6.23.) So - with the next week or so still likely to be on the cold side - the second half of the month will have a struggle to get the mean CET for the whole month up to the 1971-2000 average. -- John Hall "Acting is merely the art of keeping a large group of people from coughing."

Still a complete snow cover above 800ft in the central lowlands and still
rather deep above 1000ft. I'm told at the top of a local hill (2,400ft) there's well over 1.5 meters of snow on most upper slopes. Even given an average end to the month temperature wise, I can't see the snowline retreating much higher for quite some time yet, there's so much of it to shift. The ground is unusually dead looking in my lower snow-free area, no sign of daffodils even shooting yet. The snowdrops are just out, the latest I can ever recall that happening. Rivers are very low, firstly because there's been no rain for 11 days - but also because so much of Dec, Jan and Feb's precipitation is still locked up in snowfields. Lovely sunny day today with a max of 8.5ºC, but that was after a minimum of -6ºC. The average march max and min are very similar to these widely opposing values. Alex Wishaw, Central lowlands.
