A village in Scotland has provisionally set the UK record for the warmest temperature in January after hitting 19.6C, the Met Office said.

The balmy temperature in Kinlochewe in the north-west Highlands was recorded on Sunday. It is likely to have surpassed the previous record of 18.3C in 2003 recorded in the villages Inchmarlo and Aboyne in Aberdeenshire, and Aber, Ceredigion in Wales, which reached the same temperature in 1958 and 1971.
