February most sunny on record

shock. When you look at it though, it's 12 hours more sunshine than the previous record, which means one and half days more when the sun was out. Not much really but sounds impressive nonetheless

Despite one or two cold snaps, it has also been milder than usual. Between December and February, the mean temperature was 4.8 Celsius (40.6 Fahrenheit), 1.1 degrees above the long-term average.
The "cold snaps" are nicely brushed over there. There was more than 2 "snaps" and lasted several days to over a week if I remember back to December and Jan. But obviously there were a couple more "warm snaps" which bring the mean up and then get more attention for it.
And the one liner to end it
Quote:
After all that sunshine, February will end on a more familiar note with strong wind and rain in many areas and warnings of gales in parts of Scotland.
Just a brief mention that the weather is in fact quite variable dont you know.
I think i'm being very cynical because they don't actually use the phrase "Climate Change" in the article, but I got the feeling the way it's written is to suggest it's more 'evidence'
