On the front page of today's Daily Telegraph there's an item which
begins:

"After weeks of bitterly cold weather, the country is set to bask in
temperatures of up to 64F (18C) this weekend as the sun sweeps away the
last of winter."

I can only assume that the reporter and sub-editor responsible have been
out of the country for the last three weeks or so.

I have heard 12-13°C (early April) described in the same way
by a football commentator. It *was* windy, to be fair to the lad,
Gary.
