When I got home this evening and saw a maximum of 19.0 on my (admittedly non-standard sited) thermometer, I presumed there was something wrong with the sensor. It wasn't even particularly sunny.

Hampstead, London. 89m ASL.

A similar experience here. The max of 12.7° was the second highest I have
recorded in February since moving here in 2009 yet it occurred on a very dull
day with a persistent low overcast and with spells of rain and drizzle. Not at
all the sort of day on which an unusually high temperature (for the time of
year) seemed likely.

Meanwhile, we've just received from the M.O. a Yellow warning for snow
'valid from 0200 Thu 23 Feb to 1800 Thu 23 Feb'.
