Hazy sunshine to start the day with an overnight low of 7.0°C. It’s currently 8.2°C

Looking cool and hopefully Sunny for the Cuckoo Fair on Saturday @CheesepuffScott

I've heard loads of Cuckoos down by the meadows this year, so it can proceed.

Looking forward to it! Probably won’t need to get the shorts out like last year  but I won’t need the brolly either, phew

Pleasant day all around, made it to Manchester & back without a drop of rain, most unusual..

Briefly, and somewhat unexpectedly, hit 18C earlier this afternoon during sunny spells. Variable cloud around though. Overall, a pleasant day.

18c breached here too early afternoon yesterday, equally surprised as you as wasn’t expecting higher than 16c.

Spring Watch have been saying that they're on the decine, but this year and last year, I've never heard so many round here. I reckon there must be 3, or 4 between here and Downton. I hear them all the way along our walk.

[CheesepuffScott]

A high of 17.6°C with sunny spells all day. Blue sky overhead since around 5pm, currently 14.3°C

It’s been sunny here but is slowly starting to cloud over.

[jtay]

Decent shower here now, despite the small echo on the radar. Might therefore pick up as it moves East.

Interesting difference from not far away, it rained persistently (light to moderate) from about 10.30 until 1.30! Hazy sunny spells before and after the rain.
