Good morning from the top left-hand corner of Wales - where the signals go clunk, the waves lap at the station edge and the engines are whiffling happily

Porthmadog has soared to 23 Celsius this afternoon

Warmer than anywhere in Spain, Portugal and most of the Med!

The temperature has dropped a little recently with a gentle sea breeze kicking in but still very pleasant.
