First 20C day at 25C?
 

My first 20C day today at 24.5C, easily beating the previous
record (from yesterday) of 18.3C.

Now this got me thinking, there must have been a fair number
of places in the country today whose first 20C day was also
their first 25C day. Now to me this seams like a statistically
rather unlikey feat but perhaps it's more common than I
might imagine. Is there any data on this interesting (though
admittedly rather obscure) event?

Very similar this side of the Pennines, 19.1 yesterday was the highest
so far, then rocketed to 24.7 this afternoon.

So, this is summer then?

A large range as well, from 6.7C overnight to a max of 24.5C today.
Although that 6.7C must have been recorded in clearer conditions
early in the night as when I was up at around 5.30 it was pretty cloudy
and the temp was already around 9C.

An interesting one, Col. Today was the first day in Chalfont St Giles
this year that exceeded 19.9C. The max today was 28.3C.

It hasn't happened here in 24 years' recording though there
were two occasions when the highest of the year jumped from below 20°
to above 25° in *two* days, but never just one.

not quite a 25C here in northern ireland! I managed to record a 12.4C max
between the heavy off-on rain all day! most of the day the temp was below
8C!
