Yesterday got me thinking about this as I sat in the sun in our front garden in North London with temperatures nudging 13 deg in mid February. But on reflection I would describe yesterday as a mild late winter's day. Not quite warm enough and everything still too bare.

Last Tuesday was certainly springlike here, with it being our warmest day (14.2C) of the year combined with almost calm conditions and sunshine. http://www.cornwallcam.co.uk/recently.htm .

I know what you mean about things being bare, but it's not so noticeable here as many places, with much of the vegetation being evergreen & the beach looking 'warm'.

Today it's bright with sunny intervals, little wind - very benign. But it's back to feeling like a mild winters day.
