I have heard 12-13°C (early April) described in the same way by a
football commentator.

12-13C *IS* very warm when you have just spent the winter
commentating on football matches with the temp at or below
freezing... Some commentary positions are bit exposed.

The last week hasn't exactly been warm either, snow showers during
every one of the three days.
