Another jaw dropping forecast from the Met Office 

February 2019 will become known as the "summer in the winter" 

Is this really happening?

17c here. S Glos, nr Bristol

[kold weather]

Many 18c temperatures now, looks like overall this will be the warmest Feb day once all is done. as for the record, good chance it falls again today, we'll certainly be going north of the old record again as well.

Trawscoed in Wales recording 20c at 1pm. Seems to be leading the way atthe moment.

20.8C at Porthmadog.

Remarkable.

A 'frigid' 17.6 over here, still the warmest by 1.5! I could cope quite well with these sort of temps, in July...given some thunderstorms, of course!

So close to 70f...can almost taste it. Would think one of the stations is going to push over that magic line between 2-3pm.

Anyone have access to the live temperature recordings that the MetOffice use?

19C at Manchester

Reminds me a bit of July 1975 when, after years of cack summers, 90F was exceeded on three successive days...I never expected to see 20C reached in a UK winter - let alone for three days (tomorrow being just about possible?) in a row!

A truly amazing spell, IMO!

Yikes!! In London! - that means it'll be headline news and take up half the 6 oclock news this eve

[Summer Sun]

Sheffield has recorded its warmest February day on record with a high of 18.0c. The old record was 17.6c in 1997

Northolt showing 20.5c on the 3pm update rounded to 21c

 

[snowray]

So nowhere has hit the 21c then? How about St James Park and Greenwich, they are usually the hot spots in London, do they still take readings from them places, can never find reports from Gravesend any more either.

[snowray]

Looks like the record has gone to Portsmadog recording that 20.8c from earlier.

I bet it was warmer around here though, I was sunbathing earlier this afternoon.

What is noteworthy for me, is the ease with which warm records are broken these days which is the result of a global warming trend. 

I'd be much more amazed to see consecutive cold records being broken but unless something monumental happens, this is something we are not going to see here.

Kew Gardens has hit 20.9c

If confirmed it will be a new UK record beating Porthmadog by 0.1c

Must be a good chance of a 21C once all results are in at around 6pm

[snowray]

Yes surely we must have hit 21c somewhere.
