In reply to Bobstanton:
There were some good early season conditions but its been very warm over the last week. There was a warm weather record set today in the North-West:

A new UK record high temperature has been set in the Scottish Highlands, according to provisional figures from the Met Office.
It recorded a peak of 19.6C (67.3F) at Kinlochewe on Sunday, making it hotter than Rome and the Cote d'Azur.
If confirmed it would be the highest January temperature in the UK, breaking a record set in 2003 by more than a full degree celsius.
It would also be the highest winter temperature ever recorded in Scotland.
