UK experiences highest temperatures so far in 2026, breaking February records
The United Kingdom experienced its highest temperature of 2026 so far on Wednesday, February 25, with readings at Kew Gardens in London reaching 18.6°C. Other regions including Kent, Suffolk, Essex, Northolt in London, and Neatishead in Norfolk also saw temperatures surpass 17°C, with some areas warmer than Barcelona, Spain, and Malta. This unusually mild February follows a wet start to the year, with Northern Ireland and the southwest of England recording their wettest January on record. According to Sky News meteorologist Dr Christopher England, the current mild conditions are caused by a generally southerly airflow, influenced by low pressure to the west and high pressure to the east. However, he warned that cooler weather is expected to return from Thursday, although temperatures will remain above average for most areas, with cloud and rain moving in for many parts of the UK. The Met Office emphasized that these warmer temperatures do not indicate a permanent shift to spring-like conditions, and overnight frost and fog remain possible. Overall, the outlook remains changeable, and residents should not expect sustained settled weather anytime soon.
