[Terminal Moraine]

Another sunny and almost cloudless morning. A marked temperature inversion this morning;at 0500 g.m.t the Davis on the house roof was registering 9.7c and 600 m away in a shallow valley the grass was white with frost . The temperature at 0800 g.m.t is already 3.2c higher than it was at this time yesterday and with the wind ( what there is of it ) now W/NW, a much more sheltered direction here, I would think the March record is under serious threat.

Temp', 13.7c

24 hr max', 16.2c

24 hr min', 7.5c

Rainfall in 24 hrs ending 0800 g.m.t, nil

A cool night but not as cool as yesterday. Down to 5c.

Completely blue skies again and up to 11.5c so far.

Really enjoying seeing so much sky - last night was great for sky watching!

[Methuselah]

Wall-to-wall and already up to 9C...

[reef]

Cold and clear overnight again with a min temp of 1.9C. Clear with blue skies again today with the temperature already up to 14.6C.

More importantly the wind is westerly, so without those sea breezes it might just be a much warmer day. The March record here is 19.7C set in 1990, so it'll be interesting to see how close we get.

[Backtrack]

Already 15C, with clear blue skies.

Will probably have two more days of this before we return to normal on Friday.

[Methuselah]

13C already. That's an increase of 4C in 90 minutes or so. Should make 18 this arvo??

[Kent Snow]

15.1C, clear blue sunny skies, wind from the N/NE, 1037hPa.

[Summer Sun]

Another perfect day, wall to wall sunshine 19.8°C and rising

[Andy Bown]

Clear, warm and sunny, gentle ESE breeze, 17.1c, 59% humidity and all this after a frosty start!

[Terminal Moraine]

Sunny and almost cloudless. The Davis on the roof is fluctuating between 16.9c and 17.4c; the March record here in the screen is 17.5c, it could well fall this afternoon.

[johnholmes]

the March record of yesterday has gone today, its 1.1C higher alread at 21.7C-quite remarkable as Mr Coleman was oft' heard to remark!

[Zenarcher]

Clear and sunny but still got that sea haze about. Temp 12.5c and wind 15mph.

[Summer Sun]

Well what more can I say other than simply stunning

22.8°C and rising the feels like temperature is 25°C!

More please!

[Methuselah]

Stuck at 16 again, here??

[johnholmes]

well my back garden showed a max of 22.9C, higher than many others in this area but its just my back garden I'm judging. It makes it the highest March value in 16 years and the highest value since 2 October 2011.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

23.4C here this afternoon beating the 22.4C record set at the weekend and further smashing the long-term March record of 15.7C! A minimum overnight of 1.2C giving a daily range of 21.2C, which is pretty good going.
