The UK is experiencing its warmest February day on record, the Met Office reports.
A temperature of 20.3C (68.54F) has been recorded at Trawsgoed, Ceredigion.
It is the first time a temperature of over 20C has been recorded in winter.
On Sunday, temperatures across Wales reached 18C (64.4F) in many places.
The previous Welsh record was set 29 years ago when 18.6C (65.48F) was recorded in Velindre, south Wales.
Fabulous, a balmy 17 degrees here

Any stats available ? @Tikay10
Let me share with you my view of Newhaven harbour.
I said I thought it was lens dust, I edited that in maybe after you read it.
Meanwhile, as the UK basks in record temperatures for time of year, anyone tuning in to watch West Indies v England from the Caribbean will be disappointed - start delayed by persistent rain.
However, bad weather is the friend of Online Poker sites, & for them, nothing beats a week of snow with sub-zero temperatures. In the summer, the complete opposite, traffic drops significantly.
@Sky_SamT can often be seen on his knees in the office, praying for snow.
This is universal, not just SB&G, though of course it reverses itself in the southern hemisphere. So for global sites such as Pokerstars it does, to some degree, balance itself out, though not entirely, as more poker is played in the northern hemisphere.
In short, for almost all online gaming, winter is great, summer is bad.
For supermarkets, breweries & pubs, it's the other way round. They loathe bad weather, but, but do well in good weather, especially in heatwaves such as last year.
I guess the thing is with online betting , you can do your bets early and shoot off for the day , so not really weather dependant , from a site liquidity point of view .
