Thursday just made it to warmest day of the year by the narrowest of margins 0.1°C. The early afternoon temperature reached 15.9°C (60.6°F) just managing to beat the 15.8°C (60.4°F) reached on 15 February.

| Temperature & Rainfall Records for February 2019 |
Meanwhile, as you can see from the chart above, February has been a dry month so far with just 17.2mm (0.68in) and there's no forecast of any substantial rainfall before the end of the month. Average rainfall for February is around the 40mm (1.57in) mark, equivalent to almost a full column of blue on the chart. It follows on from a dry January with only 17.6mm or 0.69in.
It does mean that the ground is in good condition for digging and weeding. The bed above was dug over a few months ago and as much bindweed was removed as possible. I started digging it over again yesterday removing any bindweed and wick grass roots that were left in after the first digging. I'm sure there will be some little bits of root I've missed but hopefully not too many.
