UK Records Highest Ever January Temperature

Scotland's village of Kinlochewe recorded a high of 19.6C on January 28, marking the hottest January day ever recorded in the UK.
The previous record for a January day was 18.3C, which had occurred four times, most recently on January 16, 2003.
The high temperature is a result of a rare weather phenomenon known as the Foehn Effect, which sees isolated spots near mountains hit with a narrow blast of hot air.
The Foehn Effect is hard to forecast and only causes small pockets of unusual heat, with the record-breaking temperatures catching meteorologists off guard.
The warm southerly wind bringing the heat is expected to stop soon, but a warm south-westerly wind is due to hit the UK in the middle of next week, with temperatures of around 14C expected.
