What a day! What a weekend! More of this on order please! Nearly got the BBQ out only we couldn't find any charcoal in the shops  I know, I know 

[Dorsetbred]

Finally are we out of the sh!te and on to something more stable and improved, let'd hope so, this weekend has been classic spring.. 

[Evening thunder]

A frosty start then a nice sunny day but really hazy, visibility a few miles at best, no good for doing a walk for the views. Could do with some cleaner air really.

Was very busy down at the beach though.

[Mapantz]

I don't think the haze was too bad here..

Agreed, fabulous weather all weekend. With it promising to be more of the same all week, maybe even into next weekend too, pop up to Rocky Mountain Nursery if you want charcoal, they had lots yesterday in the shop next door to the café.

Nice to have some dry weather for a few days but a real shame it's such a dirty high. Looks like we're stuck with it for much of the week too.

Doesn't look so hazy there although can sort of see it lower in the sky. That fog at night kind of looks like a snow storm! lol

Definitely about as thick as haze gets here though, The hill 2-3 miles away was only faintly visible and on a walk along Exmouth beach you could barely see across the river mouth to Dawlish.
Though it was still pleasant for sure, just not visually stunning.

Thanks Jethro - haven't been up there in a while, I'll have to pay them a visit, think I'm going to be busy in the garden if this continues! Blooming fabulous

Certainly sunny, but very milky hazy sky and generally poor visibility. This weather doesn't really float my boat after late Feb. Personally, At this time of year I'd much rather some clean air from the Arctic or Atlantic.

Cracking weekend here. Bit of mist early on both days, but I'll take that.

Even fired up the BBQ yesterday, after popping into the Salisbury Sausage Shop on Saturday. Top, top weather weekend.

[Evening thunder]

Sunny this morning though the breeze is a bit chilly. Somewhat less hazy than yesterday too.

Min 1.3C so less frost than previous nights.

[knocker]

A mostly cloudy morning with varying amounts of St. Felt decidedly chilly waiting for a taxi outside Tesco with the easterly wind gusting 30mph. But just recently the cloud has dissipated and now clear skies. Temp 7C.

[Mapantz]

A low of 1.9°C this morning. Currently blue skies, but that wind is damn cold!

Temp: 11.2°C - Hum: 52% - Dew: 1.7°C - Bar: 1030.85hPa - Wind:  E/ENE @ 5mph, gusting to 15mph at times.

This spell of weather is very much like what we had at the very end of September into the first few days of October, the only difference being the maximum temperatures are 8c to 10c lower with us coming out of winter rather than the high teens we saw then.

Good afternoon all,

 

 

A little chilly feel this morning, now wall to wall sunshine, I'm loving this.

 

I spent yesterday in the Peak District and ended up with a burnt nose! a glorious day (same as here) if a little hazy.

[knocker]

Continued cloudless since it dissipated and the wind has dropped Cracking.

[jethro]

It's been a lovely day here, bit hazy this morning but that soon cleared, bit of a nip in the wind though. Spent the day giving lots of the grass the first cut of the season, I think it's probably the shortest spell ever between last and first cut as I didn't stop cutting until December and blimey has it grown since then. Thanks to the mild, wet winter there's an absolute abundance of moss to contend with too - deep joy.

 

More of the same weather for the rest of the week?

Pretty much although probably cloudier tomorrow pm and Wednesday so therefore cooler in the wind.

First grass cut of 2016 here too this afternoon, I wanted to do it yesterday but the shaded part was still sodden.

Thank you. I never got as far as the shady parts today, started with the sunny, dry bits, by the time I got to the shade the tractor had given up the ghost - belt came off the cutting deck and as it's the first time out since it was serviced, I'm not a happy bunny.

[knocker]

Cloudy with some low Sc at the moment under the inversion. Hopefully should disappear by mid morning. Temp 6C and a easterly breeze.

[jethro]

Morning all, another lovely sunny morning here. A sharp frost to start but that's already cleared, blue sky with only a little haziness and the nippy wind of yesterday has gone so should feel warmer today.  Another beautiful spring day coming up
