Lovely early spring weather and not bad for late February.

Anywhere or anyone crack 21.0C today.

Yes, here in Watford just checked and so far got to 21.1c, just double checked on a mercury thermometer and it seems correct.

From a rounded min of -3C (-2.3C up to 6am) at Farnborough it has reached 18.1C, so a diurnal range of around 21C today.

There was still frost on the lawn in the shade at 10am!

Well done - we need an offical one now to put  in the record books.

Drier air.

17.5c here and wall to wall sunshine,there are even people laying on the beach at lunchtime. Absolutly stunning,amazing and more than welcome.It feels like May. W e are smashing records for warmth left right and centre and by some margin with increasing regularity. Hope everyone is able to get out and enjoy it. Although things are going to revert to the default norm later this week,winter is 100% gone,hooray!

Not bad here either. Actual low of -3C and just checked temp and it's 16.4C

And to think tomorrow could be even warmer!

19.2C at Charlwood - 11 miles east of here - at 15:00, with a relative humidity of 23%.

Final scores on historic day.  Should be able to squeeze a 21c tmrw I reckon 

Trawscoed 20.6c

Northolt   20.4c 

Gogerddan 20.1c

Hampton  20.1c hourly  figure  so may have gone higher 

Indeed, was just about to post this! Truly a historic day. First 20°C winter's day today, maybe the first 70°F tomorrow?

So we've not just beaten the old record but smashed it by almost a full degree! I wonder if anywhere will reach 70F tomorrow? Just need another 0.6 degrees C.

Cooler in the far south- only 16.3°C max here this afternoon. All said, still stonking for February- especially off of subzeros this morning.

A striking consequence of our warming climate.  I'm hoping that this  is not considered a controversial statement.

it shouldn’t be- the evidence speaks for itself today. 

I wonder if we could get to 21c tomorrow?

That right as it been sunny relentless in here this month and heating was off during the day now after using 24 hours heating so that big help and the solar panels I got doing a good job as well.  Was around 17C in Gillingham for my car service so it was quite warm but going back home to Lower Stoke was 12-13C due to near to the sea 4 miles away. I can see the far distance cloud lining over the N Sea so that where it bring the fogs here in the morning.

Let hope give prolonged warm to hot settled weather in the summer months.

Yes - more continental that's for sure! Although Scotland hasn't been that cold or frosty by night from my understanding!?

This weather is beyond unseasonal - to see people walking around in short sleeves and flip flops and picnics by the Quay is the earliest i have seen this ever here in Exeter - even people buying and eating ice creams outside in t-shirts.

This weather is remarkable ! - Well so much for the cold weather Met Office - well done in your forecast for forecasting temperatures some 10c above the average for Feb ha! NOT All they said was for milder interludes to be brief and the chance of an easterly wind! But not that I am  complaining anyway! So after this unseasonable weather there will be some postmortems into why the longer range weather models all got February/ or this winter so wrong with so much northern blocking and low pressure to our south when it was the exact opposite. Thank goodness it's dry warm and not mild and overcast/ warmth! 

Also whilst I love this dry and warm End of April/May like weather - I do have some concerns about the wildlife, including crops and plants etc!? - Surely after experiencing the warmest Valentines day since that of 14th Feb 1998 - and persistently dry and warm weather since then with temperatures in the mid to upper teens weeks and maybe low 20's tomorrow, i feel mother nature will get confused and won;t be good for farmers? - What if we get a cold plunge with frost and ice and or even snow in March and bitter freezing cold temperatures? - I doubt this will happen but never rule this out!?

Maybe I am old fashioned and like seasons and like to see cold and snow in winter and warm and dry weather in summer but I just hope that we don't pay the the price for this in spring! I juts feel that winter is not done with us yet!?

Diurnal variation of 20.9C at Trawscoed after a minimum of -0.3C this morning.

Remarkably Bala at 163m also broke the UK record with 20.0C and a diurnal variation of 22C after a minimum of -2.0C this morning.
