Review of February 2005

 

A rather mixed month, very mild in the first half but colder in the second half with 9 consecutive days of lying snow at the month’s end. February 2005 followed a similar monthly pattern to 2004, although the mean temperature was 4.2ºC, as opposed to 5.0ºC in February 2004. So, a colder month than last February, and the mean of 4.2ºC was not far above the long term Durham average. Certainly a more “wintry” month than we have been used to of late. Only 5 air frosts recorded this month (Below 0ºC), although plenty other night time minima below 2ºC.

 

Some weather moments of note……a maximum temperature of 11.9ºC on the 3rd. This was below last February’s maximum of 14.5ºC.

46mm of rain was recorded this month, slightly up on last February (43mm). The bulk of this month’s rainfall fell as snow in the last 10 days of the month. 15 days of rainfall >1mm. 15cm level snow recorded on the 23rd, and 16cm level snow recorded on the 24th.
