Damp. Far from the 16 hours of heavy rain forecast by MetO (and several hours of heavy rain from GFS), the reality so far is patchy light rain with the odd brief heavier burst. 1.2mm so far today, and it's currently 13.2, dew 11.9. The high so far is 14.2.

Plenty of rain here, just one or two drier interludes. Puddles in the garden borders again. Fortunately I have had the greenhouse to clear of stuff stored over winter and tomatoes planted out (already flowering having been potted on) so not a complete waste of a day

Here in Edinburgh, the rain has now cleared away but our late spring permacast hell goes on with a temperature of around 14°C.

The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.

A warm sunny day, 19C and seemed hot in full sunshine. A morning gardening, afternoon walking on a nature reserve - just by Short Ferry - the farm that was so badly flooded recently - and next to my favourite brewery, Ferry Ales. Came home to see a Red Kite circling over our garden. Perfick.

Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.

Right up there with the heaviest rain I've ever seen earlier. Still lightning and thunder now - the last one shook the windows!

46mm in a couple of hours and still pouring down.

Finally at long last, we have a bit of sunshine to end the day here in Edinburgh.

Unlike yesterday, it's not actually raining here in Edinburgh but today has started off on yet another dull and overcast note.

In fact, I've actually forgotten the last time that I actually woke up to a bright and sunny start to any day here.

Currently around 11°C here in Edinburgh.

17C already at 9am 👍

Expecting 20-21C today - wouldn't be surprised if we hit 22-23C

15.8C here and as what I assume is lifted fog burns off, it could be the warmest day of the year so far and getting warmer as the week goes on. Excellent growing weather too.
