Default We might not have 2ft of snow but we do have 14°C!

The date record today is only 14.4C. Almost certain to go.


I think it may have already been beaten and by the most unlikeliest of stations.

Great Dun Fell is reporting 14.7°C at 0900 UTC, which kind of corroborates the
0800 temperature of 14.9°C. The wind is meaning 40kts from 230°. On the lee side of the Pennines you could get 16°C or higher I would have thought, although Leeming has only 12.5°C at the moment.


I think the ITV weather last night were implying fohns could develop with a 16C forecast for the Moray area. It's possible the date record could be beaten by a long way today, with some exceptional temperatures (20C would be doubtful, however!).
