Scotland’s Feb Record Still Stands But Durham’s Doesn’t

While Aberdeen got close but failed within a degree, the UK’s warmest  location appears to be south of the border at Durham where it reached 17.4C. This WAS A RECORD!

The atmosphere was looking perfect with the high positioned over Ireland, strong enough thickness values (strength of high) to support raw temps uniformly at between 11-14C widely, a deep layered southwesterly air flow blowing across the Highlands which would downslope onto the Aberdeenshire coast, further enmhancing the warmth locally but there was one key ingedient missing and that was sunshine. 

This means of course that the record of 17.9C set in Aberdeen remains standing but it did get close and given the fact that the airport topped 17.2C with generally cloudy skies for the most part, that to me suggests that had there been no clouds, then I think my much anticipated 18-20C would have been highly likely and we would have quite possibly seen not only the Scottish February record fall but the UK’s as well which stands at 19.7C recorded at Greenwich.
