The Joys of spring

[Arctic Hare]

A bit of a disappointing way to start BST here in N Worcs. I expected the dampness early on, but once that was out of the way I was hoping for some sunshine. There were a few glimmers in the early afternoon, but since about 4pm it's been overcast and gloomy. I had to put the lights on just as early as I did yesterday, despite the clocks changing! A poster on the Spring Moans thread has mentioned having had a run of six successive dull months, and while I don't have figures for my neck of the woods it does seem like it's been cloudy a lot recently. I don't think that's just me comparing it (unfairly) with last spring's exceptional sunniness.

One point of note, though: a max of 15.9 °C today, which is a new 2021 high for here. Should beat that very comfortably in the next few days, though.

[Snowy L]

15C and sunny, cloud broke a lot quicker than expected. First time I've been able to sit outside in comfort for 7 months...

[Summer of 95]

Much cloudier than forecast, been a few sunny spells but never clear. Hopefully tomorrow is an improvement, or this evening as theres still time on BST

 

 

[Polar Maritime]

Glorious here, Clear blue skys but a strong breeze.

[Arctic Hare]

Also breezy here, but otherwise easily the best day of the spring so far. A new 2021 high for me of 16.9 °C, and lots of sunshine from breakfast time onwards. Really felt warm out of the wind in a way beyond anything since last autumn. Tomorrow looks like a potential 20 °C, with maybe another chance at that mark on Weds if there's enough sun. Not looking that bad even as far as Saturday now.

[Snowy L]

Perfect start here, only 14C but already feels much warmer than the 17C yesterday thanks to the breeze dying down.

[RobR]

It feels warm,  but not quite as warm as I'd expect. I think the humidity is fairly low compared to last weekend when the sun came out and it felt sticky. But a day to enjoy and crack open the BBQ.

[Dancerwithwings]

Lovely warm spring day today, I even came home early from work today to clear the garden for the 8” of snow we will be having over Easter

[Arctic Hare]

So near and yet so far: max of 19.8 °C here in Bewdley today. In terms of feel, though, it was by a mile the warmest day of 2021 so far. Light winds, lots of sun (until about 5pm, then cloudy) and warm air after early mist lifted. Felt more like a nice day in May than late March really. One more shot at 20 °C tomorrow if we get enough sun, but if not then it looks like it's going to be a long wait for the landmark!

That’s just one member and yes bloody cold that is 

 The 12z ECM mean for Monday is showing a straight Northernly....Easter Eggs are frozen methinks

[Snowy L]

High of 21C yesterday and didn't even go below 12C last night, surely close to a record? 

Currently 22C and may as well be a mid summer's day, perfect.
