Temperatures of 59F have made this Valentine's Day one of the hottest days of the year so far in the UK with many Brits braving the sea for a dip whilst others made the most of the unseasonably mild weather and soaked up the sun.
Just two weeks ago snow and ice had much of Britain trapped in a mid-winter big freeze. But that was all forgotten today as people headed to the seaside for a romantic day out, with milder air originating from the Azores leaving the country basking in unseasonably mild highs of 15C (59F) on Valentine's Day.
Some Britons jumped in the water in Bournemouth, while others enjoyed sitting in the sunshine in Portsmouth - only hours after a very misty start led the Met Office to issue a weather warning for fog in southern England.
As the sun set this evening across the country, more and more Brits could be preparing for the sunshine tomorrow as a 61F heat may be in store for the start of the weekend.

Temperatures will stay well above average for the time of year over the coming days, with forecasters expecting an almost summer-like peak of up to 16C (61F) in the North East of Scotland and 13C (55F) in northern England.
Ther mercury in London is likely to reach 15C (59F) tomorrow - with a fortnight still to go until meteorological spring. And although some snow could return briefly next month, the milder conditions should stay for a while.
Met Office forecaster Grahame Madge said daytime maximum temperatures in England would normally be around 7C (45F) or 8C (46F) this time of year.
'At the moment we can expect to see temperatures reach well into double figures across the UK,' he said. The warmer conditions are due to a high pressure system moving up from South West Europe.
Today and tomorrow should bring the highest temperatures, said Mr Madge. Northern England, the Peak District and coastal Yorkshire are expected to see the warmest weather, apart from North-East Scotland.

Above average temperatures are expected for all of Britain this weekend, with many places enjoying 11C or 12C around 4pm
The warmest Valentine's Day on record was in 1998, where temperatures hit 19.5C (67.1F) in Cambridge, not far off the February record temperature of 19.7C (67.46F) set in the same year at Greenwich in South East London.
If the mercury gets above 15.2C (59.4F) today, it will be the warmest February 14 in 21 years. The top temperature recorded as of 2pm this afternoon was 15C (59F) at Aberystwyth in West Wales.
Last year, there was also a very mild spell around the middle of the month, with 14.2C (57.6F) recorded on February 19 in Cardiff, but days later the Beast from the East brought freezing conditions and heavy snowfall.
The Met Office long-range forecast predicts during the first two weeks of March there is the 'potential for some snow' although 'overall temperatures are likely to be near or slightly above average'.
Mr Madge added: 'There isn't any strong signal for an extended cold spell at all. The high pressure looks as if it will remain in charge for most of February if not all of the month and so average or warmer than average conditions are likely to prevail.'

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.
