LONDON (Reuters) - Most of Europe will experience above-normal temperatures from February to April, The Weather Company said on Tuesday.
"While the major energy-demand centers of the eastern U.S. and east Asia have experienced a cold winter so far, the atmospheric pattern has not favored persistent cold in Europe," said Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist with the company.
"And most of the meteorological evidence suggests that this dearth of cold will continue through the remainder of winter into early spring, as the type of ‘blocking’ needed to get cold in Europe will likely not materialize," he said.
