My first 20C day today at 24.5C, easily beating the previous
record (from yesterday) of 18.3C.

Now this got me thinking, there must have been a fair number
of places in the country today whose first 20C day was also
their first 25C day. Now to me this seams like a statistically
rather unlikey feat but perhaps it's more common than I
might imagine. Is there any data on this interesting (though
admittedly rather obscure) event?

Very similar this side of the Pennines, 19.1 yesterday was the highest
so far, then rocketed to 24.7 this afternoon.

So, this is summer then?
