The sun's been up for sometime and it's clear sky but an uncomfortable NE breeze still and just above freezing.

Recovering quickly with temps close to freezing and not much out of line with the rest of the country as the 0800 obs come in (always excepting the notorious cold spot at Benson in Oxfordshire)

EDIT - even Benson up from -5C earlier to -1C at 0800

Temperature here (Baldock) has risen 11C since 06:50 this morning!

Edit. Laundry dry a good hike around the lakes. Ground drying up (is this the start of a dry spell when I can have a moan about the lack of rain?) Perhaps this year after the last two damp summers.

After the walk in the brisk/chilly north easterlies under clear blue skies, a cup of tea with bagels in a sunny (warm with a coat spot)  in the garden. 

I wish spring would hurry up but when we get to May and June, time always seems to speed up so much that it's soon late summer and so we begin the cycle again.

Same here. Dull and very dry and very dusty. 7.7c. 

Month average has dropped to 5.0C (-0.4) after being nearly 3C above in the mild spell earlier on.

There should be an unusually large diurnal range today, with the MetO raw suggesting 16 this afternoon. Yesterday's high was a cool (for the time of year) 8.9.

Patchy cloud but generally sunny and calm.

A brilliant walk up Arthur's Seat yesterday, Edinburgh looking so good in the strong sunshine. Felt freezing on the top though. A max of 9 C in the city

Off along to North Berwick this morning for a long beach walk. It'll be below 10 C with a drift off the North Sea at it's coldest
