Darren Bett was saying that he wouldn't be surprised if we see
temperatures up to 25C next week. It would be nice but that seems a bit on
the high side although I guess the areas sheltered from the E/NE could
make it.

Like NW England perhaps

But honestly I'd be happy to see the high teens right now,
never mind 25C. I'm tired of this cool weather and the
nagging winds. Still having to put the heating on at times
in quick bursts, just to keep the chill off.

This month now appears to be turning into what might be called "an
upside-down May" with the westerlies weak or absent and any warmth
arriving from the E or NE. It happened in May 1984 when the warmest
day of a rotten month arrived on a northerly. It's not a very common
occurrence but May is the month for it.
