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 finally got around to looking at the edition in question - it looks as
though it was reworded for later editions.

In my copy it is headed 'Get out the shorts, spring is here', and begins:

"Britain will enjoy a month of warm, sunny and dry weather from today as
spring arrives 10 days early, forecasters said."

"After weeks of cold weather, temperatures may reach 64F (18C) this
weekend. In the coming weeks they could rise to 68F (20C), forecasters
said."
