The bbc forecast at 8.15, blimey, could she have said it any more!!

What's wrong with the word?

Nothing at all, as it is an accepted word, but today it should be qualified
by the use of "very" to indicate temperatures some 4-5C above normal. Some
places may even get into the "exceptional" category - more than 6C above
normal.

Quite a few places were 13C at 0900 and a little sunshine and subsidence to
lee of high ground could well cause the odd 15C - or more?

Temperature +8.0C and rising

14.9C here in Dorset, and it was similar last night at 9 pm. And we had snow
and black ice last week.
