You remember HADCET (Central England Temperature)? Longest temperature record in existence!.
You remember the hoopla about February 2016 being the hottest of all time?
HADCET February 2016 was tied for 106th warmest out of 354.
The barplot is the Februaries since 1663. The temperature is the anomaly from the 1663 to 2016 average.
The yellow bars are the years warmer than February 2016. Green bars indicate a tie with February 2016. Click twice for bigger.
HADCET only goes back to 1878 for MIN and MAX. Here are those graphs.

Why start in 1663 when HadCET monthly means start in 1659 ?
A bug in my code. I have to tell it to skip the header lines of the downloaded file.
I will fix.
Thanks!
