:23:02. > :23:05.them all today. The temperature might not have reached record-
:23:05. > :23:14.breaking, but today Aberdeen enjoyed one of the warmest February
:23:14. > :23:18.days in the UK. Colin Wight can tell us more.
:23:18. > :23:24.Aberdeen Beach, and if not a scorcher, it is at least warm,
:23:24. > :23:28.especially for February, with temperatures in the City over 16
:23:28. > :23:33.degrees as most people headed off for work. It is wonderful. This is
:23:33. > :23:38.more like the Continent than Aberdeen. This time last year, we
:23:38. > :23:43.were knee-deep in snow. They say that this is the hottest February
:23:43. > :23:48.for 100 years. We are just lapping this up. I think it is wonderful to
:23:48. > :23:50.be sitting outside in Aberdeen in February. It is unbelievable.
:23:50. > :23:55.today's higher than normal temperatures have been caused by
:23:55. > :24:02.warm air from around the Azores being brought north by strong winds.
:24:02. > :24:04.It will get cooler later in the week. Scientists have been watching
:24:04. > :24:09.the temperature for a decade and have noticed a steady rise. That
:24:09. > :24:13.could mean big changes for farmers. Farm management will be
:24:13. > :24:16.significantly different, because if you suddenly get large amounts of
:24:16. > :24:20.rain in short periods followed by a blistering heat, the soil will be
:24:20. > :24:24.under massive pressure. Smarter ways of managing the crops will
:24:24. > :24:28.have to be developed. Meanwhile, the first signs of spring have been
:24:28. > :24:31.here for weeks. Last year in January we were willing the
:24:31. > :24:35.snowdrops to come out of the ground, and in early February we had hardly
:24:35. > :24:39.a snowdrop to show. Rose this year, in January, they were leaping
:24:39. > :24:44.through the ground, and we were willing them to stay in the ground!
:24:44. > :24:48.Back in ice-cream -- back in Aberdeen, ice-cream sales are up.
:24:48. > :24:56.These are the same sales we had last March. We are all looking for

:25:07. > :25:16.weather like this, you have to let Now let's find out what is
:25:16. > :25:21.happening across the country with There has been a spell of very mild
:25:21. > :25:28.weather this week, with this warm air coming up to the west coast of
:25:28. > :25:32.Scotland, and it has turned pretty misty and murky. We have seen
:25:32. > :25:40.temperatures to 12 or 13 Celsius, but not as nice as it is in the
:25:40. > :25:45.east. It was 17 at the highest in Aberdeen today. It will continue to
:25:45. > :25:50.be largely dry tonight, a little patchy rain in the West, but try
:25:50. > :25:59.elsewhere. Although it will be a cooler night than last night, still
:25:59. > :26:05.very mild for the time of year. Mainly light winds, turning fresher
:26:05. > :26:10.and westerly, and cooler. Tomorrow will be fairly cloudy again, with
:26:10. > :26:14.outbreaks of drizzle. However, by the time we reach around 3 o'clock
:26:14. > :26:18.tomorrow afternoon, we will see a lot more in the way of brightness
:26:18. > :26:23.developing across southern and central parts. And although it will
:26:24. > :26:28.be cooler than today, temperatures will still reach 11 Celsius. Always
:26:28. > :26:32.a little more in the way of cloud up the west coast, especially with
:26:32. > :26:38.the the drizzle pushing into the western and northern isles. But the
:26:38. > :26:43.best of those temperatures, like yesterday, in the north-east. As we
:26:43. > :26:47.head towards tomorrow evening, it will stay largely dried. But as we
:26:47. > :26:51.head into the overnight period, we begin to see a little changed as
:26:51. > :26:56.the weather front putsches in from the north-west. This is going to
:26:56. > :27:02.mean a fairly wet day on Thursday, but the rain will be largely patchy
:27:02. > :27:09.and light. It will then push across the country, still in the milder
:27:09. > :27:15.air, said temperatures up to 12 Celsius. And cooler conditions for

:27:18. > :27:20.court has heard that the Celtic manager Neil Lennon and the former
:27:20. > :27:24.MSP Trish Godman were sent suspicious packages containing a
:27:24. > :27:27.bottle of liquid, wire and a more than forty nails. But the jury was
:27:27. > :27:30.told by a specialist police officer that the devices were not viable.
:27:30. > :27:33.A British photographer wounded in Syria has been smuggled out of the
:27:33. > :27:36.country to neighbouring Lebanon. Paul Conroy was injured last week
:27:36. > :27:43.in the same attack that killed his colleague Marie Colvin in the city
:27:43. > :27:46.of Homs. It is understood that Syrian
:27:46. > :27:48.activists were killed in the operation to get him across the
:27:48. > :27:50.border. Police have revealed that on the
:27:51. > :27:54.day an 80-year-old woman was murdered in her remote Perthshire
:27:54. > :27:57.cottage she'd cut short a phone call to a friend after hearing a
