February 2013 Summary

In Brief:
The coldest month since February 2012 by night and day, but fairly average for February.  The driest month for some time.

Temperature: [Minimum]:
Night-time temperatures ranged from 0.9 degs C on the night of the 22nd/23rd, to 11.0 degs C on the night of the 13th/14th, giving an average of 6.26 degs C for the month.
Although this is the lowest average of any month for a year, February 2012 was the 4th mildest of the last ten Februaries for night-time temperatures.
The temperature fell below 5 degs C eight times during the month, the most of any month since February 2012, but the 4th fewest number of times of the last ten Februaries.

Temperature: [Maximum]:
The coldest day of February 2013 was the 22nd with 3.8 degs C.  This was the 4th coldest February day of the last 10 at this location, with the other three all occurring in February 2012.  The warmest day of the month was the 13th, with 14.8 degs C. As with January, the coldest and warmest days were both adjacent to the coldest and warmest nights.

The average maximum for February 2013 was 10.19 degs C, making it the coldest month for daytime temperature since February 2012, and the 5th coldest of the last ten Februaries. It was, however, very close to the averages of February 2012 [10.14], and February 2010 [10.18].

Rain:
72 mm of rain fell during the month, making February 2012 the second driest of the last five Februaries, and the driest of any month since September 2012.
This compares to 130.9 mm in January 2013, and 45.8 mm in February 2012.
The wettest day was the 1st, with 13.9 mm, which is the lowest total for a 'wettest' day since May 2012.
The 1st was only just the wettest day though, as both the 10th and 13th had over 13 mm of rain.
There were 15 completely dry days, which is the most in any month since September 2012, and the second highest for February, just beaten by 2012 with 16.
There was no measurable rain from the 15th onwards.

Cumulatively, 202.9 mm of rain has fallen during the first two months of 2013, compared to 115.8 mm in the same period in 2012.
