UK basks in warmest February day on record

7 minutes ago

The UK is experiencing its warmest February day on record, with the Met Office reporting a temperature of 20.6C (69.08F) at Trawsgoed, Ceredigion.

It is the first time a temperature of over 20C has been recorded in winter.

It breaks the UK's record for February, set when the temperature reached 19.7C in Greenwich in 1998.

A new English record has also been set with temperatures rising to 20.1C in Hampton Water Works, in south-west London.

It's been in the high 50s-60s for a couple of weeks now. It's about to end soon though but this is madness in February. I saw a mosquito on Friday night! Yikes!
