According to the Telegraph, parts of the country will today enjoy the warmest day of the year so far. Temperatures are likely to reach almost 70°F, with London warmer than Tenerife, Barcelona and Nice.
I hope that the weather is kind on Anglesey, where I will be visiting Holyhead in the company of Cheryl Gillan.
The weather has been beautifully warm over the last few days, but not warm enough to melt the last of the snow lying on the tops of the mountains across the valley. It arrived on 8 October and has lain there for over six months, through one of the coldest winters of recent years.
The colder winters, I am assured, are a by-product of global warming. So, apparently, are the damp and chilly summers we have endured over the last three years. Quite what the connection is I can’t say, but it may have something to do with the Gulf stream. Or the jet stream. Or both.
Perhaps a climatologist would like to comment.
