As promised by ‘Derek the Weatherman’, the warm sunshine finally reached Wales today (Wednesday 18th April), as temperatures climbed to 20°C across the country.
Although many of us woke to a rather cloudy and cool Wednesday morning, the Met Office claims today will mark the hottest day of the year so far.
We’ve taken a look at your tweets from today to find out how Wales has been making the most of an early summer.
