Partial Thickness values recover over Southern England, but are still highest over NE Scotland, West Wales and SW England. Dry soil in many places creating higher temps than PT alone would suggest (not NE Scotland which is more descending air from Grampians creating even more dryness)

19-20C seems likley across parts of Western and Southern England and 20-22C in isolated parts of the west and NE of Scotland.

Fog largely not a problem except around London where some moisture has fed up the Thames Estury and is affecting parts of Surrey and NE Hants in particular. Another patch around the Wash.

Min of 3.6 °C here, early fog has now cleared to give hazy sunshine. At 08z / 09 BST it is 5.9 °C.

[John Robert Mellor]

Had a misty/foggy start and temperature down to +0.6 - still a bit hazy but the sun is there and temperature now recovered to +4.5°C. I've forecast potentially 20°C for my local region.

Just about the warmest place in the Uk at 09Z is Kirkwall in the far north of Scotland at 14C.. everywhere else is generally still rather chilly after a cold night.The west coast of Wales is warming too though with 15.9C at Portmadog with a dp of --2C

[Jez Meyer]

Went down to a min of 4.0C, now up to 15.7C and rising fast.

[Uskys]

After a slow start, up to 14.0°C at 11z

16.6 °C here at 12 BST, max of 17.7 °C. Much less haze overhead today.

[Dave W]

Cheshams has a 20C range already today.. 16.5C now, min -3.4C

[Dave W]

Heres something remarkable.. Wick on the north coast of Scotland is 19C and may reach 20C.. this would be noteworthy in mid summer let alone late March!

[Flatlander]

"Only" 15C here after a minimum of -0.2C, but feels much warmer with the strong sun. Wouldn't disgrace June.

[Chris Alder]

19C down here on the sout coast too at Bournemouth now

[Jez Meyer]

18.9C here in Farnham now, very little haze around. Definitely see 20C being reached. Remarkable temps in N Scotland!

[Richie]

Air temp up to 16.3c at 1225 UTC. Sunny warm and clear skies.

[Sam Jowett]

Currently 16.6ºC in Coalville, so warmest day of the year so far, 32.8ºC on the grass in the full sun, also the hottest of the year so far...

[Dave W]

Warmest 12Z i can see is Portmadog ith 20.5C

[HSEA2]

Currently 17.2c and clear. Min: -1.9c

[Dave W]

Aberdeen & Inverness are both reporting 20C at 1220Z

Record today is 22.8C in 1907 - touch and go but i think its more unlikely than likely we will see it reached today given theres about another 2 hours of temp rising left though PTs are slightly rising

[PJB]

Braemar and Aboyne at 21.3C at 14:00 BST (13Z)
