Since Monday this month's running mean temperature has increased from 2.4C to 3.6C.

At the same time the daily sunshine average has plunged from 4.3 hours to 3.6 hours.

Horrible, depressing, draining and dispiriting rubbish. Just utterly soul destroying 

Seems quiet here - thought it was deleted but this is the sort of weather I hate
Today's high was 12.5c with drizzle at times and now the temperature is 11c yet skies are clear but temp is not falling as it's breezy too!? Boring! Gosh!  Little variation between night and day too as well as lack of 'weather' - what a borefest of nothingness this February is turning out to be eh?!

Looks like more of the same tomorrow as that weak front pushes through we will expect another dull and drizzly overcast dank and mild day!

Bring on the heat next weekend then!

This has been one of the crappiest winters I can ever remember. So annoying, given the persistent signals for prolonged cold in the NWP and within MRFs from the Met Office.

Even an 'old faithful' cold NW'ly let me down.

Totally agree with the above. The weather may not have been that different from other mild non discript winter we have had to endure in the recent past, but this one came with hope and belief that maybe just maybe the the Meto and the long range charts might be on to something...... unfortunately they weren’t.

Yes and to be frank we have not even seen a true northerly? so not have we failed to get an easterly but even a northerly esp for the SW although with that north westerly Cornwall was lucky on 31st Jan with many parts seeing a covering or at least several inches of snow?

Forget winter now until  December its well and truly over. Enjoy the warmth and rejoice spring has arrived early.

When is this mind-numbing tedious crap going to end? It just goes on and on - the same repetitive dross day in day out. Pig sick of being blasted by that vile wind every time I step outside. It's been like that for a whole week with utterly dire temperatures. Not dropped below 4C for since last Tuesday when it's supposed to be winter 

It's just a totally hopeless situation. No end in sight as this write-off winter limps on like a bad smell that won't go away. 13C forecast later this week which in no way interests or excites me. In fact it is one of the most tedious temperatures there is being neither warm nor cold, and possible to record as a maximum at any time of year 

Nine crap, almost winter weather free Februaries in a row and we are only weeks away from the 6th anniversary of the last time 10cm of snow lay. This horrific sequence of utterly diabolical winters is just unreal. Straight from the bowels of hell the lot of them

bloody hell Andy, you been drinking mothers ruin? ...all joking aside reminds me of driving through Sarajevo in the mid 90’s. 

I don't know, when are you going to stop posting?

I know this is a moaning thread but FFS.

Seeing some snow falling in winter? What an absolute waste of a winter month February is turning out to be.

...but I hope this winter will finally put to bed (and before I am slated no criticism of the Met office themselves) the complete waste of time producing a LRF at all, based on model output,  because despite some posters with their rose tinted glasses have said, they are pretty much useless, the trends they pick up are often the opposite of what comes to fruition, like the last 2 months for example. 

The experts have not covered themselves in glory with these worthless forecasts and I suspect my moan is nothing compared to those hundreds or thousands of companies and business that lost money in changing plans, based on those forecasts, but maybe just maybe those journos that led (several times) with their artic headlines have learned not to trust the LRF produced by the Met office, for the public must have seen through them now too  

Right off to get the Patio furtniture from B&Q sorted, if I had believed the forecasts it would have been snow shovels ...funny I expect they are on offer! 

This winter is now in a completely vegetative state and should have its life support machine unplugged to end its miserable existence.

Retron, we have seen some pig winter months since the intranet era started but this month is worse than any I can remember.

At least February1998 finished with an arctic north westerly and 3 inches of snow.

Andy

What score would you give this winter out of 10, Andy?

With the exception of a very short spell during the second half of January and the very beginning of this month, I can't say that this so-called "winter" ever really started in the first place. Nevertheless, I will be more than glad now, to see the back of it which couldn't happen soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

Just enjoy the springlike weather guys. 

Sadly I have been stuck under overcast skies and 10 c all day today. Ironic considering I'm the most nearest to the current high pressure system and the main continent, but it's the cold Channel that is the spanner in the works - which is often the case at this time of the year.
