After the warmest minima in 37 years of records yesterday, today was even higher with a min of 12.8C, meaning we've smashed the record set in 2000 by 1.4C. Yesterday's max of 19.0C was the 3rd warmest March max in the same 1980-2017 period (and probably since 1965). The mean temp of 15.7C was also a whole 1.4C warmer than the record set in March 1990. A remarkable spell.

Currently mostly cloudy with sunny spells and a temp of 15.3C.

 A dry day with increasing sunshine amounts. Warmer than forecast, currently 16.7°C after a low over night of 12.7°C. Don't think we have yet attained the max. 

Warmest day of the year.
