Glorious sunshine again today and looking like temps will be up a notch again. Currently 14.0C. The Easterly wind has however not eased and has indeed been stronger this morning than in recent days. If the forecasts are correct it should start easing over the next couple of days.

Winds a fair bit lighter today, currently 17c in strong sunshine. Glorious conditions if sheltered from the breeze

As you we're regarding the weather but the breeze is a issue. That should finally start to ease tomorrow and be almost gone by Thursday hopefully

Lovely and sunny again but annoyingly strong breeze keeping it feeling on the cool side, especially out of the sun.

Today's dog walk looking down into the Clyde valley from Coulter woods. Still a patch of snow on Tinto.

Just back in from looking for meteors with no luck. Sky dead clear again though with Venus shining brightly before setting in theWest. Getting cold now. Temp 5C and falling. Very unusual for the East coast to have several days in a row of brisk East winds with hardly a cloud in sight. Same wind has helped keeping the skies so clear though as it stops inversions or build up of pollution.

Not quite the same blue skies of last few days. More cloud around. Should burn away though

About the same here, a bit hazy but still really pleasant.

Two late nights of Lyrid watching and I saw a grand total of....  THREE! plus another very bright streak nowhere near the Lyrids. Could have been anything, make up your own metaphor, or make a wish.

Didn't see a single one here HC. Was out for 20-30 minutes last three nights, was even crystal clear. Still, I can now identify the northern cross and the summer triangle!

Down to 3.9C last night and already at 15C this morning. As others have said, chilly wind is away and the sun is oot!

Three more than me then.  A last try tonight perhaps. Weather is same again today with bright sunshine and an Easterly breeze though perhaps not quite as strong as yesterday. Saw this photo of the Lawers range taken from above Pitlochry around 20 miles away (by a local). Still plenty snow up there at altitude.

Lovely clear night saw 4 meteors overnight. 
 

Lovely morning and far warmer than the last couple days. 16c already. 
Rhododendron is coming into bloom which is always a hive of activity for the Bees

So few reports of Lyrid sightings so far, so may be they haven't peaked yet and may be worth another look tonight.  I'll give it a go anyway.

There's a little high, thin cloud drifting around still, otherwise just the same as the last few days.

One last look NE tonight then - see if we can see a surge.... (What's the collective noun for meteors?!)

Got to 18.8C in my garden, half a mile away down by the Tweed it looked splendid:

Evening all!

Hope you are all well.

Wonderful spell of weather for many of us! (If not all!)

17C today and the sunset was just glorious.

Got a bit hazy here this afternoon so not the clear skies this evening seen in recent days. Max was 14.6C but felt milder as the breeze died. Light cloud to the West did make for a decent sunset though. Out looking for the spaceship launched earlier but no sign, perhaps because of the thin cloud or maybe we just missed it. Lots of false reports about it from people who saw Venus and didn't think that it was not moving quickly across the sky from West to East.

Sunshine a lot hazier today making things feel cooler, especially in the early afternoon when the SE wind was at its strongest.

Irrespective, up to 14c and felt lovely in the evening when the wind died down.

Calm conditions outside now and there is going to be another frost by the looks of things (currently 2c).

Giving up on the meteor hunting, no luck the last few nights.  Kids got a biology lesson during this evenings hunt as they came across a couple of amorous hedgehogs.  The prickly pair were so caught up in the situation they completely ignored the kids leading to the parents taking the kids away at speed before awkward questions ensued....

Early cloud broke this morning to give hazy sunshine here. A couple if degrees cooler than same time yesterday but feels warmer without the nagging Easterly. Still clear air out West as this pic of St Kilda taken last night from the Uists shows.
