Temperatures rocketed to 64F (18C) today as Britons made the most of the unseasonably warm weather by hitting the beach and enjoying picnics in the park.
The glorious weather comes ahead of a half-term which will see temperatures well above average for this time of year, with the mercury hitting around 13C during the early part of the week.
It is a stark contrast to the weather seen two weeks ago, when temperatures plummeted to around -14C and most of the country was shrouded in snow.

Emma Smith, a meteorologist at the Met Office, told MailOnline today that temperatures had hit their highest for this day in 21 years - with the warmest weather recorded in Rhyl, North Wales.
She said: 'Temperatures have been well-above average for this time of year when we would normally see the likes of 46 or 48F (8 or 9C).
'Today was the warmest day of the winter so far, with temperatures reaching as high as 64F (18C) in northern Wales. That's the highest temperature recorded on this day for the last 21 years.
'The reason for this is because warmer weather has been drifting across to Britain from continental Europe.'
Temperatures are set to change as we move through the weekend and into half-term however. But will remain well-above average for this time of year.
Tomorrow morning, areas in East Anglia, southern England and the Midlands are likely to wake up to low cloud and fog, although this will burn off. Most of the country will remain dry apart from some showers in Scotland.
Conditions tomorrow will be cloudy with sun in eastern areas on Sunday although it is expected to clear up early next week

Describing the weekend weather, Ms Smith said: 'We will see a change over the weekend for much of England and the south. Tomorrow temperatures will be around 57F (14C), which while above average is lower than we have seen today.
'Sunday will see a band of windier weather form the east, which will continue into the afternoon'.
Early next week, dry and bright conditions are expected in the south east, although patchy rain will hit the west and north west with strong winds also likely.
On Thursday and Friday, the dry and bright conditions should reach the north and Scotland, although there is a small chance of snow in eastern areas.
Describing the half-term weather, Ms Smith said: 'We could see highs of 54F (12C) as we move into the beginning of next week. And the weather will trend back down, moving to around 48F (9C) later in the week.
'But there will still be a lot of drier weather across much of the country, with brighter conditions expected in the south and east.'
The Met Office predicts that March should see long periods of settled weather across the UK with snow confined to higher ground in the north.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
