I believe it is:

15.6C which was recorded at Gordon Castle in Banff and in Craibstone, Aberdeenshire, in 1931.

Is this going to be surpassed today?

Caught my daughter singing "the weather outside is frightful". 

Hardly, unless you despise mild in winter!

Aberdeen Dyce top so far with 14.5.   Unlikely to put on another degree given time of day.

Nantwich Reaseheath (also an official station) is also showing 14.5.   Looks a little high given readings at nearby sites.

Meanwhile, down south it’s just a mild but nothing exceptionally so, 10.5c with the usual sheet of grey crap in the sky.

13.6°C here, with a rare break in the cloud.

I believe that's the mildest in the last 13 years for here.

Seems to happen every year nowadays, blowtorch arrives for the Christmas period after a period of the blow dryer. A couple in the pub last night said they had been up to Scotland looking for snow, found nothing and they were rather disappointed, another time they said they found lots of snow, but not this time, they obviously don't follow the weather models like we do in here.😄 I think we will get close to the record without braking it, bad enough though getting to over 14c this time of the year.

 

The ever popular Capracotta webcam in Central Italy is up and running, more snowfall last night and lots of snow piled up everywhere if anyone fancies a snow fix.

We reached 15 but the airport thermometer doesn't go to sufficient decimal places to break the record.

Christmas Eve and Christmas day are always mild and benign these days, as is New Years day. So this year is nothing out of the ordinary.

The best chance of frost and snow tends to be between the period of mid November to mid December.

Mildest Christmas Eve in Northern Ireland today provisionally, beating the record set in 1932.

Absolutely glorious evening here in Aberdeenshire, still a gentle warm Foehn breeze so enjoying a drink beside the firepit. Still showing 14 degrees at 1730 on my cheap digital thermometer.

I am not sure that the maximum temperatures in England have been exceptionally mild today - 11*C over the most part of England - yes it is mild but we have occasionally had even higher daytime temperatures in late December, closer to 13-14*C.  It has certainly been a mild Christmas Eve for sure but I am not sure about a record breaker for England.

no chance it's a record breaker. I've not kept the exact records

I remember a mid-December in the south-west some years ago

It dropped no lower than 17c at night, and remained at 17c during the day

It was usual grey blanket, with no clear skies or sun

I remember sleeping that night, without a blanket over me, in mid-december. Incredible !!

 HurricaneSteve  North-Easterly Blast We're talking about Christmas Eve specifically here, which has a record of only 15.6C. There is also a clear difference - late December to early January is the coldest part of the year with the lowest records typically, it's slightly different to even mid-December or mid-late January.

Here are the maximum temperatures so far from weatherobs (includes a few non-official stations that don't count for Met Office records, but most of these are of good quality).

Yes for areas further south 10-11C which is less exceptional, but much of Yorkshire, NE England, and Scotland would definitely count as exceptionally mild for this specific time of year - widely 12-14C.

I don't think we can deny it's exceptionally mild if we end up only a degree lower than the date record, especially when the date record is not especially low compared to other days around this time of year.
