Warm it was yesterday though it did chill down overnight. But very warm it will be today.
Temperatures today may even rise about 20 degrees at village level! The snowline is going to race back up the mountains at this rate!
Tomorrow may not get quite as warm, but should start off fine.... but later in the day and into Sunday rain is very likely.
