Highs of 7c in Saint Petersburg today:https://www.accuweather.com/en/ru/saint-petersburg/295212/weather-forecast/295212

It's all becoming way too familiar actually now isn't it? Al of Europe at or above average but mostly Scandinavia and western Russia are some 10c above seasonal norm. Just remarkable warmth - meanwhile the snow thaws in the Alps:Let's see if there is some snow in Ski resorts and how they are doing in Davos during the talks at EU summit?https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2661039
Highs well above freezing by day with little or any snow to come? - Surely this all must change at some point this winter? :o

Better luck next time!
If this transpires, Europe and western Asia will be poised for one heck of a springtime warm-up unless we see a classic March major pattern shift sufficient for reducing the vast lying snow deficits (outside of Scandinavia which is near-average; it's not all doom and gloom!).

More warm records will tumble if it verifies . We must be heading for the warmest European winter on record?
13C with clear blue skies today. Even the butterflies are out.
13? Dank and dreich down in Hampshire with lingering fog and a max of just 6C so far.
14C in the end. Really felt like spring.
Just as a contrast, it's not often the lowest temp recorded by MetO in the SE region occurs on the coast on a location surrounded by water - yesterday Thorney Island recorded -3.3C (only just beaten nationally by Hurn airport, a noted cold spot on sandy soil at -3.5C)
Yes the north-south split was certainly in evidence yesterday. Thorney Island only reached 5.8C max while Scotland and northern England had temperatures in to the teens. The lowest max was at Wych Cross in East Sussex at just 5.2C.
At Farnborough the temperature has flatlined at 6C for the past 13 hours
Phenomenal warmth forecasted across Europe this weekend.
The only places where there are any below average temperatures are Iceland, Scotland and the Kola Penninsula.
Goodness me! Incredible warmth across both Europe and North America:

Amazing graphic
Notice that temperature gradient in N Russia.
Looks like an anomaly change from 16C below average to 16C above average in the space of about 300 miles going by that scale
Certainly warm here- above 14C. Looks like Paris might be 16 and Lourdes 23!
I think Graz in Austria is 15 and at Mayrhofen (not sure about spelling) it's 8 with light rain. Imagine the going on piste- yuck!
Parts of north east Spain and south West France are hitting 26/27c this afternoon
First heatwave of the year on 3rd February. GW times!
