Touch and go if the records gone today.. if Portmadogs still the same temp at 15Z as at 14Z id say its about 60% likely.. cant see anywhere else in the running now though besides Goggerden though otterbourne and Trawscoed may reach 21.6c iish. Goes without saying if so though, beating a near 100 year record again is pretty remarkable

Max of 20.0 °C here, very respectable for the end of March, never had two consecutive days of 20 °C in any March.

[Richie]

Maximum 12.1c at 1106 UTC.
Even though its a clear sunny day, the east wind has kept temps pegged back again.
Current air temp, 10.9c and falling at -0.4c/hr.

maxed out 20.6c at 3.19pm, now 20.2c. I don't think I've recorded higher in March before (Since 2006)..

The North Sea must be cold near the continent...currently just 3c at Westerland-Sylt.

I wont know until tomorrow but theres a good chance my all time March record may of been beaten which is 17.6C set in 2003 and equalled last year. Been up to almost 19C in nearby Plymouth

The CEFAS Smartbuoy moored at the Mersey Bar Light is currently offline, but the Barrow Waverider buoy is online and currently reporting a sea surface temperature of 7.65C which is pretty representative of Liverpool Bay waters.

Edit: current buoy sites bordering UK coasts are all around 7-8C. The highest SSTs are off the Hebrides with around 9C. The influence of the Gulf Stream is obvious.
