A warmer Wales

Inflation is rising and so are temperatures!
In fact, it's the warmest day of the year so far with most of Wales basking in sunshine. A few places such as Cardiff, Monmouth, Pembrey, Tregaron and Wrexham reached 17 Celsius today, 63 Fahrenheit.
The average maximum temperature for this time of year is 11 Celsius, 52 Fahrenheit.
Mind you, the nights are still chilly and last night there was a frost in places. At Hawarden in Flintshire, the temperature fell to minus 1 Celsius, 30 Fahrenheit.
There's more fine and warm weather to come tomorrow and on Friday but over the weekend it looks like turning cooler and if you're a gardener watch out for some ground frost. The odd shower is possible in places but apart from that the outlook is dry with the best of the sunshine on Sunday.
So far this month around 24 mm has fallen which is only a 1/5th of the total average rainfall for the whole month. But it looks like the dry spell will break next week with some rain expected Tuesday into Wednesday.
Finally, here's a photo taken on the cliffs near Trefin this morning overlooking the unusually calm blue Irish sea.
