Air temp has just reached 15°C (Stevenson screen, open exposure). This
is the earliest date in almost 50 years daily records that 15°C has
been exceeded here. Not bad from a min this morning of -1.8°C too!

The previous earliest date to attain 15°C was 13 Feb 1998 (max
17.2°C).

I'll post the actual max reached later on today.

Stephen,

Even warmer here, with a Max of 16.6 deg C reached at around 1415.
Probably reading a degree or so high, due to exposure, but still worthy of
note.

S F2 15km 4Ci300 +15.5/+2.7 1031 (Cotra)

Thinking of getting the deck chairs out, that should put an end to these
high temperatures!

Got up to 15.9C here in Bracknell (14:35z). Very dry too - humidity down to 39% at 14:48.
A bit sheltered in my garden, of course. Will be interesting to see other maxes for today.
