Is this a common statistical anomaly? Has it happened in many years before?

The Dublin Airport average temp is currently 1.6 degrees colder than that for February :eek:

It'll be first occurrance in my 12 years of records.

Feb mean 7.1C
March mean will be 6.6 or 6.7C

Today and tomorrow has really pushed the mean up a lot.

It'll be 3rd coldest March in my records behind 2010 5.8C and 2001 6.0C

This March has been sunniest in my 8 year record.
