Britain basks in sunshine as forecasters warn warm weather will not last
Gogerddan, on the west coast of Wales, reached a record-breaking 19.1C (66.38F), the warmest Welsh day in February since 1990.
Britain has continued to bask in the unseasonably warm weather with highs of 19C (66.2F) recorded on Sunday.
The west-coast beauty spot of Gogerddan, in Cardiganshire, Wales, was the hottest place with a record-breaking 19.1C, making it the warmest Welsh day in February since 1990.
Down in Dorset crowds headed to the beach to enjoy the warm weather which is expected to continue on Monday and Tuesday.
“Monday and Tuesday will be equally as warm, if not with a greater chance of 18C or 19C.”
After that, however, temperatures should be back to normal.
“Monday and Tuesday will be the last of the very mild days with temperatures coming back to average levels after that,” the spokesman added.
Temperatures across Wales reached 18C (64.4F) in many places on Sunday, though it is unlikely to break the UK record for February, when the mercury soared to 19.7C (67.46F) in Greenwich in 1998.
The previous Welsh record was 18.6C (65.48F) set in the south Wales village of Velindre 29 years ago.
