I have evaluated the evidence for the dates of Jessica Jones, looking at evidence for it being February-March 2015, and evidence for it being November-December 2015, and come up with a conclusion. For each piece of evidence I have given a points score based on its importance, reliability and how specific it is.

February-March 2015 Points against: February-March 2015: 10 points
 * The biggest piece of evidence for the timeline is the "18 months ago" flashback. We know Jessica and Kilgrave were together for at least a few months before the incident on January 20th 2014. Kilgrave says in Episode 9 that they met on a "cold, clear night". If Jessica Jones occurred in February-March 2015, if you go back 17 months (I interpret the 18 months as a rough time frame) then it is September 2013, which would indeed fit for it to have been a "cold, clear night". This fits perfectly. 4 points
 * 3 We know for certain that Jessica Jones occurs after Daredevil. If it were in February-March 2015, then Daredevil would occur a few months prior - I would say roughly October-November 2014, as they seem to be entering Winter time towards the end of the series. This same Winter would then be the season which Jessica Jones opens towards the end of. As well as this, they comment on there having been 2 years of rebuilding New York since the events of 2015, which is much more fitting if it is in 2014. Also, the WHiH post https://plus.google.com/+whihnews/posts/23tPtkYMgB7 suggests Daredevil is active by 23rd January 2015, which fits much better if Daredevil takes place before. There are also other reasons spoken about on other pages of the Wiki, some of which people have written in the comments of 2015. Anyway, because it seems that Daredevil would fit much better in late 2014, it would then fit perfectly for Jessica Jones to be 3 months later. This would also explain why the Union Allied article is still on the police noticeboard. 3 points
 * The weather in Jessica Jones sees the early episodes in late Winter and then it starts to get more sunny towards the end of the series, suggesting February and March-time. This fits perfectly with the "18 months ago" point above. The show was also filmed from February to May 2015. 2 points
 * The characters keep referring to the incident on January 20th 2014 occurring "one year ago", which fits very nicely with it being February 2015 now. 2 points
 * The characters talk about "the green guy" as if the Hulk has not yet disappeared. Granted, they may just not know he has gone, but there is also no mention of Sokovia when they talk about the destruction the Avengers have caused, all suggesting this occurs before Age of Ultron. 1 point
 * There is little mention of Daredevil which makes sense if it is a few months later, and there is no mention of Spider-Man. We know Spider-Man started operating around Spring 2015, so if this is before he started operation that would make sense. 1 point
 * The South American Jessica Jones page posted this image https://www.facebook.com/JessicaJonesLat/photos/a.799892186788671.1073741828.787440941367129/831398513638038/?type=3, which shows "Cage - November" and "Hope - December", but this is not an actual shot from the show so is not a complete confirmation of timeline. -2 points
 * A little boy runs around in a Captain America costume from Age of Ultron. However, Cap could have been wearing this costume ever since Winter Soldier as far as we know, so this does not necessarily mean it is set after Age of Ultron. -1 point

November-December 2015 Points against: February-March 2015: -2 points

 * The weather is cold in Jessica Jones 2 points
 * Ever since Thor (excluding The First Avenger and Iron Man 3) the M.C.U. has tried to run mostly in real time, so to keep with this trend, it should be that Jessica Jones occurs in November 2015 1 point
 * A little boy runs around in a Captain America costume from Age of Ultron. However, Cap could have been wearing this costume ever since Winter Soldier as far as we know, so this does not necessarily mean it is set after Age of Ultron. 1 point
 * The biggest piece of evidence for the timeline is the "18 months ago" flashback. We know Jessica and Kilgrave were together for at least a few months before the incident on January 20th 2014, but if Jessica Jones occurred in November-December 2015, the "18 months ago" flashback would occur around May 2014, which is AFTER when Kilgrave was supposed to have died!-4 points
 * The weather in Jessica Jones sees the early episodes in late Winter and then it starts to get more sunny towards the end of the series, not colder as it should be if it were December -1 point
 * The characters keep referring to the incident on January 20th 2014 occurring "one year ago", which still just about works if this were November 2015, but seems a bit awkward to refer to something nearly 2 years ago as "one year ago" -1 point
 * The characters talk about "the green guy" as if the Hulk has not yet disappeared. Granted, they may just not know he has gone, but there is also no mention of Sokovia when they talk about the destruction the Avengers have caused, all suggesting this occurs before Age of Ultron. -1 point
 * There is no sort of mention or reference to Christmas approaching. -1 point

To conclude, I believe it is almost DEFINITE that Jessica Jones occurs in February-March 2015, and therefore Daredevil occurs in October-November 2015. If I had to put specific estimated dates, I would say: Reply with anything I have got wrong or missed, but I think this is pretty accurate.
 * Daredevil Saturday 25th October-Sunday 30th November 2014. I know the days of the week because in a later episode we see an article saying that the shootout after the Kidnapping of Claire Temple occurred in the early hours of Tuesday. Therefore the events currently written under 21st March 2015 would be a Monday - I believe Monday 10th November 2014. Everything currently under 5th March-10th April 2015 should be moved accordingly.
 * Jessica Jones Sunday 1st February-Thursday 12th March 2015. Look at my http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:2015#Jessica_Jones_Timeline_Suggestion post for more information.
