Temperature droped to around 1C thismorning with some frost in places, currently 2.6C and its starting to look very nice and spring like now trees are starting to blossom

If temperatures were 8c below the March average this place would be lively, when it's 8c above it's dead!

Max 18.6c needless to say the warmest of the year to date.

If it is 8c above average in any of the summer months I'd certainly be raving about it!!!

14c here, and very pleasant indeed.

A beautiful spring day with a high of 17.3C, sunny with a nice cool easterly breeze. Lovely to see things coming back to life again!

[mikeocarroll]

Not quite so warm as some here today, max of 15.5c, had quite a bit of cloud about (compares to 16.8c recorded earlier in the month). Should get warmer over the next few days though if we get more prolonged sunshine. If we get a cold snap in April it will come as a shock to the system.

15 degrees and sunny, not bad really!

[nwales]

Warmest day of the year so far today at 14.9c.

[nwales]

Cold overnight with a low of 1.7c. Hopefully will break the 15c barrier today in the sunshine!

[J10]

A lot of high cloud possible today, but apart from that looking sunny across Wales, high teens in places look certain can 20c be reach in a few locations?

[DeepSnow]

Lovely clear, sunny spring day and temperature already at 16.0C here, could be the warmest day of the year for me! Light easterly breeze which is nice, lovely to hear the birds and see the gardens come back to life again, been looking forward to spring for a while now so glad its finally here!

20c at Valley at 12.

[nwales]

As expected, today was the warmest of the year so far at 15.4c. Bit jealous of the higher temperatures at lower altitudes - especially as the altitude didn't even provide much snow over the winter! Although looks like high altitudes further west have done well today... Capel Curig at 20c ain't bad.

[nwales]

Temperature is dropping very quickly now the sun has gone down. A drop of 1.1c in the past 20 minutes.

Current temp: 11c

[TonyH]

One of the warmest March days I have experienced, we had a similar couple of days in the Midlands in March 1990.

Adjusted max: 20.8c, same as Trawscoed, even the coasts had the exceptional warmth, 20c reached at Aberporth.

This after a probable touch of ground frost around midnight.

Mumbles Temp 16c, however car temp around 19-20c and that was a better indication of the local temp.

Given the forecast for nest week, I would take this is the middle of summer, preferably a few degrees warmer, but 19-20c with sunshine is very pleasant indeed.

Sunbathing on a March morning!

The sun is very strong 14c, some long standing records will fall this week.

Maxed at 18.2c here today, slightly lower than 20.1c yesterday. Both Friday and Saturday has temperature ranges of exactly 19.0c (9.00am-9.00am), with an air frost on Friday night into Saturday morning.

[TonyH]

Third day in a row above 20c, just falling short of the magical 70f or 21.1c. Ground frost first thing. Wonder what the Welsh record for March warmth is, must be 23 or 24c?

Seems like the more the ground dries the colder the nights are getting under this high.

Already just 7c so close to an air frost by dawn.

[TonyH]

Fourth successive day above 20c max, and the third with unbroken sunshine.

Ground frost this morning again. Large diurnal range of over 20c! From 0.5c to 20.9c.

Utterly remarkable and historic.

[TonyH]

Air frost likely by dawn, down to 6c now, a degree colder than this time last night.

[J10]

Warmest day of the warm spell at Mumbles today at 20c, (previous high was 16c) with winds now from the NW, the sea breeze has gone.

However it has been very warm and very sunny the past week, and temps have been close to 20c here for a number of days.
