Looking very mild and rather excellent next weekend on the current charts. The first taste of spring for many, if they achieve outcome. How mild? A possibility of the UK date record of 15.9C being threatened if the 00z gfs chart is the one we see in a week's time. I'm not saying that's what will happen, but the likelihood of having dry and warmer than average weather on March 8th sits at higher than 80% ATM and IMO.

The date record for 8th March is 21.1°C.

Have you perhaps looked at the wrong month, it is 15.9°C for 8th February.

Well, it would have potentially threatened the date record, if the date record had been 15.9C, but as Col correctly points out, the record is in fact 21.1C. ☺�☺� Sorry! note to self; read the actual data properly!!!)

Still looking peachy, ATM!

Little doubt now that the building NE of the Azores high will produce mild and properly springlike weather this weekend. Really looking forward to it to the point, where I'll feel put out if I don't get it!

I certainly hope so.
There were near-blizzard like conditions here this morning, just another day or so of cold,windy weather then something genuinely 'springlike'.
