I'll probably go similar to Mr Data, possibly milder, I'm not convinced of much cold weather either..

I think I'll wait until the months end to give my guess though.
2012 so far.. (2011 in brackets)
Max temp: 20.8°C - 28th March (26.4°C - 3rd June)

Min temp: -7.6°C - 4th Feb (-7.4°C - 31st Jan)
Highest Gust: 50mph - 5th Jan (42mph - 23rd Oct, 12th Dec)

Thunder heard/lightning seen days: 2 - 14th April (3 rumbles to the SE), 21st April (distant-ish rumbles to south) (6 - only 2 significant and not distant)

That's always the case!

If January is preceded by February, I think we'd have a lot more to worry about than the weather ;-)

I suspect Feb 1830 is up there, London area was sub zero continuously for the first 5 days of that month, -5C was the max. on a couple of days

I'll wait until Sunday at least before I give my prediction as it will be much clearer how long and deep the projected easterly may be..

I do believe we will see a colder month than average with a strong possibility of a notably cold Feb - the coldest since 1991 maybe..

My projections over recent months have been very poor as I truly underestimated the strength of the atlantic, but it is becoming cleat the atlantic looks like it will have much less of an influence on Feb and what influence it does have will be of the cold 'variety'.

Hmmm..... slightly tough one, I am still not convinced about this cold, but would love it to be true and we get a really cold February, so heart or head this month,

I think I will punt for 0.4c :-)

By the looks of things, after the first week the remaining 3 weeks will need to average something more normal to late May.
May to the 6th
Mean Max 11.5c (-6.0c)
Mean Min 7.3c (-0.6c)
Mean 9.4c (-3.3c)
