Nothing this morning to change my mind. We have the *possibility* of the warmest UK temperatures for several years. Quite an exciting prospect.

May I add that any extremes, warm or cold in the UK, are always exciting from a meteorological point of view, but I recognise as well, that such temperatures, even over a short period of time, will put stress on particular groups of people and on the NHS.

Ooh yes, especially the elderly for whom you have such tender sympathy, albeit rather selective. Mode="croak": I'm 72 you know. Disgusting, isn't it? Errrgh!
