One of Met Office's videos showing why it will heat up:

(think Pugget stipulates 20c for the kick-off)

I always wait for a forecast of 20 - not an achieved 20

[Puggit]

Not sure I've posted this before - but the UK heat record for February is 19.7oC....

It is forecast to 20c 'ish

Roy Castle, Norris McWhirter and Ian McCaskill will be looking down for a 19.8

The forecast is more like 16-17. But conditions are favourable for a few spots to get a boost due to Foehn effect.

3 weeks away

Oh ps off! Im getting use out of my convertible and want it to continue!

A convertible should have its roof down whatever the weather - the faster you go the less wet you get!

The S2000 forum used to have a saying (might still do, that car is long gone thanks to kids!)... "If you're caught with the roof up, the storm better have a name"

Deal. But only cos there's a small chance a charity will get money

Just walked the dog in the woods - the ants are waking up already!

Scotland has equaled the all time (Scottish) temp record for Feb. 17.9oC in Aboyne.

[Puggit]

And Aboyne is 18.3 now, so Scottish Feb record is broken. Aboyne is class Foehn effect territory, being east of the Cairngorms.

Summer here in MK. Sunny, clear blue sky, 18c. Lovely

More like 15/16 (officially, semi-officially) - but still pleasant

I want to get some grass seed down, is it a little too early?

Looks more likely to go wet and not cold than cold in the mid term. But you certainly can't rule out further frosts and/or a cold spell.

It's a bit of a gamble, last summer completely killed one of my lawns, I didn't think you could kill grass but you can

My colleague laid a new lawn just at the start of the dry spell. Oops.

Meanwhile in Vegas...

Already 17 in North Wales. Foehn effect caused by Snowdonia will play a big part. Expect Welsh Feb record to tumble today. Llanfairfechan if you want to know...

Apparently it snowed in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Los Angeles....

Title doesn't say only for those who have a love of snow !!

I hate snow but like this thread.

We'll we've failed to deliver much snow or wet and windy

[Puggit]

Oops...

This is a joke, not a statement on more snow coming
