Close to record warm temperatures today!

[Paul]

So we've reached 17c today in Finningley (Doncaster), meaning we're just 1.3c short of the January record. Many places are up into the mid-teens, how warm has it been where you are?

 

All change tomorrow btw - even some snow across the northern half of the UK!

[Liam J]

Got up to 12.7c here earlier, currently 11.4c. 

[Paul]

Bearing in mind the averages for the time of year, it's all pretty impressive:

 

[knocker]

Miserable 13.5C

[The PIT]

I wish I knew what the record temp was for here. My fathers records are at the local museum so can't scroll through them.

[Terminal Moraine]

The max' was 12.2c here up to 1800, beating the previous January record in 1983 which was 11.9c.

[Summer Sun]

With the sort of highs we've recorded in the past 2 winters I do wonder if we'll hit 20c at some point during a winter

 

16.6c December 2013

 

16.0C December 2014

 

17c January 2015

 

The record winter high is 19.7c set back in 1997 at Greenwich Observatory (London)

14.8C here now a cold 13.8C no heating required despite the strong winds.

[ANYWEATHER]

16.3 c . not done that for a long time

[The PIT]

Damn grass will be growing again. Needs cutting started growing in the mild December.

[sundog]

Hit 16c in Oakpark,county Carlow in ireland today.

Max i recorded was 14.0c

[Summer of 95]

Reached 15C here, the first time I can remember doing so in January, and the highest temp was after sunset.

Actually, what's the January record for England? All the 17+ records on the Torro site are in Wales or Scotland. Has today done it?

16c briefly here tonight. Glorious. Would have been early shorts weather had it turned milder a bit earlier and it wasn't so windy.

Can't wait for spring now.

[Captain Shortwave]

So a maximum of 17C, a full 10C above the seasonal average. To think the response of temperatures 10C below normal would bring in here at this time of year.

[Stargazer]

Maximum of 15.5 early evening here, and the same was recorded at the official station at Reading University - probably a January record for Reading.  Mid morning it felt almost springlike in the sun when sheltered from the wind.

[Laurie61]

I managed 16.3c at around 16:45. Still 15.1c at 23:15. 

[Andy H]

With all heating off, (only had it on twice this winter) amd log burner not even lit, we are showing 23c In the house! Balmy for his time of year!

[TonyH]

A drizzly windy max 12.7c here today - still the mildest Jan temp in my 12 years record hereabouts.

[MBaines]

15.4c here at 18:50  highest since station recordings started in June 2002, beating the previous high of 14.9c although that was 29th Jan 2013

[reef]

A high of 14.6C here, beating the previous record of 14.3C set on 16th January 1993.

[Mark Neal.]

high of 14.3c earlier here in Oxford

[reef]

The record has just gone again, now up to 14.8C.

 

And all at half past midnight!

[leehws]

Managed 16.2C here this evening - currently 15.5C

[Evening thunder]

16.3c here beating the highest in my relatively short term (since 2008) records of 14.3c on the 20th January 2008.

 

Not sure what the record for here is, or where to easily find out but the second graph on this page suggests the Yeovilton 1964-2007 record is just below 15c, and they reached 16.1c yesterday.
