Merry March warmth continues

Well we have finally broken our record since we started recording back in November, so today marks the warmest day since the Autumn, reaching 14.3°C earlier this afternoon.  We had a cloudy start today, which was due to a deep low pressure system moving through over northern Scotland, but after mid-morning the cloud slowly cleared and the sun emerged.  We were lucky though, the weather just a few miles north of Blackburn was quite different under the tail end of the frontal system.
