Very frosty in the morning, but warmer.

February 5th. Again warmer. Brightened to a beautiful clear day at lunchtime.

February 6th. Still cold, but warmer than before, and damper, with a strong South wind.

February 7th. Beautiful weather. Really nice. Hardly like Feb. at all.

February 9th. Much warmer today, had the window open at work in the afternoon.

February 10th. Warmer still today.

February 11th. Even warmer than yesterday.

February 13th. Warmer still, like June. So much so that when it was getting dark about 5pm I had the strangest feeling it was summer and 8pm.

February 14th. Weather still warmer, cloudless and beautiful. Went round in shorts most of the day, had all the windows open. And still the first half of February!

February 15th. Weather bright and clear from mid-morning on.

'Extremely mild ... indeed, equal with 1990 as the mildest [February] this century.' [...]
