Have we stopped talking about the weather now, guys? Normally these threads are red hot!
Anyway, but of a dull start to the day, but it's supposed to be really nice at the weekend

Well there's nothing really noteworthy going on, so I guess nobody feels inspired to talk about it .
Last I looked it was bright and the temperature 14C. Unremarkable and suits me OK. No doubt it will warm up a bit during the day.
We are entering the time of year when some areas can be hit by heavy rain, so maybe we have floods on the way .

At least it's not raining here today. It looks as though it'll get wetter again tonight. Temperature - bearable.
Tuesday afternoon was really sunny and warm for a while - though that was further south than here - on a drive back from Edinburgh. Am I imagining that the weather has been quite bad this year? Is there any part of these shores which has reasonably good weather most of the time?
Depends partly also on what one might mean by "reasonably good", and if you like seasons. Is a winter without snow good or not? Is a summer with a lot of sun good, or just too hot?

It's been pretty good in my area (Suffolk), rain was less than average and when it has rained it has been mostly overnight or just one day, certainly better than last year. May was record breaking month for sunniest month on record. Only problem was it was too hot at times and long spells with no rain.

Beautiful bright day (little chilly and lots of dew on dog walk at 7.00), looking set for another perfect day in the paradise known as Suffolk
