A mild end to February
| 15:28 UK time, Monday, 27 February 2012
We were blessed with some lovely weather over the weekend with plenty of sunshine and spring-like temperatures. Yesterday St. Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan recorded nearly 9 hours of sunshine!
While in Hawarden, Flintshire the temperature exceeded 13 Celsius, which is more like April than February.

It was also a lovely day for a walk up to in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Carmarthenshire. There were also some interesting clouds around over the weekend.
Gill and Peter Foulkes saw a few lenticular clouds over Plynlimon in Mid Wales.
While Morden Haiku took this photo of a at Mynydd Moel near Cader Idris.
This optical phenomenon is also known as a Brocken Spectre which I've discussed in a previous blog.Over the next few days
There is more cloudy and mild weather to come. A few spots of rain and drizzle but not enough rain on to fill the water tanks before the visitor season starts.
The driest and brightest weather this week will be in parts of the north and east where it will be very mild with temperatures in Flintshire rising to 14 Celsius.
Meanwhile on the south and west coast it will be cooler with temperatures on Gower nearer 10 Celsius with mist and fog patches.
So, February looks like ending on a mild note but I wouldn't rule out further cold snaps and frost in March.
