Temperatures in the 10C range is not uncommon at the south and west coast in February (the record highest is 18.8C from 1990). What is uncommon is the prolonged warm spell. This February seems to be the warmest for decades. Usually one or two mild days are followed by frost and occasionally snow.Not so this year so far!
