The Met Office has provisionally recorded the highest minimum temperature for Christmas Day on record – though much of the UK still had a grey and damp 25 December.
Temperatures measured at Exeter airport and East Malling, Kent, did not fall below 12.4C, beating the previous record of 11.5C measured at Waddon in Croydon in 1983.
