Feb 2025 I must be doing something wrong here, because my crude estimate of UK mean temp anomalies is just +0.1°C above the LTA. Well, I suppose it is above average. #ukweather

5 Mar 2025 2 M Forecast Anomalies ECMWF I'm not sure what data is used in the graphics for the anomaly chart AD showed in this lunchtimes Deep Dive, maybe historical climate, but in my experience temps in NE Scotland are invariably above average in a SWl'y. #ukweather @metoffice.bsky.social

Winter [DJF] 2024/25 Mean Temp Anomalies Estimated mean anomaly for the UK +0.1°C. An average winter as far as temperatures were concerned. Values dependent on the latest LTA I have, unfortunately, not all are for the 1991-2020 period. 🙄 #ukweather

28 Feb-6 Mar 2025 12 UTC 2M Temp Anomalies | Accumulated ppn (102 hrs) ECMWF Not only will the rain shadow keep NE Scotland dry, the strong zonal flow will fuel the highest anomalies in the UK too. #ukweather #scotland @bbcweather.bsky.social @metoffice.bsky.social

28 Feb 2025 Min Temp [18-06] Third consecutive coldest night at Aboyne. It's been noticeable this week how BBC Weather showed little interest in frosts in the north, until they occurred in the south.🤔 #ukweather #scotiamyopia @bbcweather.bsky.social

27 Jan - 26 Feb 2025 Stornoway was sunniest 5 times in the last month, followed by Glascarnoch with 3😮 If the AWS at Aultbea had a sunshine sensor, it may have trumped them both🤔 Sadly, because the UKMO needed another super computer this was not to be☹️ #ukweather @metoffice.bsky.social

A lovely sunny end to the day in Strathpeffer now the thick CI has cleared away. Not too bad at Loch Morlich either, with a dusting of snow on Cairngorm & northern Corries. It's so many years since I've been up there, I had to remind myself with a panorama. #ukweather #cairngorm

From the same scientists who can't tell you what kind of summer it'll be this year, but know for certain that the AMOC won't collapse this century.🤔 #ukweather

26 Feb 2025 0615 UTC BBC Weather Not a single mention of the frost first thing across northern Scotland, or the sunny start & dry day to come from "Our Carol". I've been told she comes from up here, but seems to have forgotten that. #ukweather @bbcweather.bsky.social

23 Feb 2025 SST Anomalies What the hell happened to La Niña? 🤔 The last time I looked it was just starting to get into full swing. Now it seems to be exiting rapidly stage left, as warmer than average SST enter stage right from the east 😜 #ukweather #enso @metoffice.bsky.social

Winter [DJF] 2024-25 National Mean Temp Anomalies 7 day leading average A winter of three distinct cold & warm spells. With only 11 air frosts in the heart of London, it can hardly be described as a hard winter, more very typical of winters of the last 30 years. #ukweather
