After temperatures which reached 18.2C (64.7F) in North Wales last Friday - the warmest of the year so far - similar figures are predicted for the coming weekend. The all-time February record is 19.7C (67.4F), which was set at Greenwich Observatory in South East London on February 13, 1998. 'Places where it could be warmest again include parts of north Wales, and the North East, as well as central and southern England.' Miss Mitchell said the mild and settled conditions could last for the rest of the month, in much of England and Wales. Into next week, the Met Office predicts a North West / South East split, with the best of the mild and sunny weather in the south and east.
