Quite sunny, only patchy cirrus. Only thing letting the side down is a brisk southerly breeze keeping the freshness going but is expected to fall calmer later today. 12.4 C & low-80% H.

Enough sunshine today to raise the temp of my solar hot water to 55C - and that gives me a 24-hour reserve even if it's cloudy tomorrow

A lovely clear, crisp start with a ground frost. Air Minimum was 1.5 C. Sun up now though and a promise of a sunny day to come ☀️

8C, sunny, despite the forecast, just a suspicion of high cloud making it a little hazy

[Frost? what's that?]

Fine with good sunny periods and only varied high cloud. It's just nudged 16 C (the magic 60 F mark), warmer than I thought. Must be a slight fohn effect since I'm to the lee side of hills under a light north east breeze.

EDIT: Didn't last long, it's dropped down to 13.5 C, more in line with my forecast. 😃 Still pleasantly mild, dry and bright though.

The date record for 3rd March according to Torro is much lower than other March dates. It is only 17.8c, so what do we think of the chances of it being beaten on Tuesday?

Lots of places along the south coast,, as far west as Hampshire, recording close to 17 but none breaking the date record - apart from 18.7C at Casa del Chonker by Southampton (and readings from a station with such a name should be looked at very carefully!)

Such a beautiful day here. Sunshine from sunrise to sunset (assuming)

Not much wind and 11 C max at 2 pm after 1.5 C min this morning (ground frost)

I suspect we will have another ground frost by this evening

An early dip to 0 C last night so another frost. Patchy cloud from the south so the temperature is now 6 C with sunny spells

Early March is a belter, yet another sunny day and we've reached 14 C. The mildest day of the year so far! ☀️☀️☀️

After early morning mist quickly cleared away, today is turning out fine with plenty of Spring-like sunshine. Peaked at 14 C half an hour ago.

I took my personal Delta Flyer for a quick flight in this morning's retreating sea mist and captured this faint but unobstructed brocken spectre.

The cloud burnt off, and it's been a sunny afternoon again. Not as mild as 15C yesterday but 13C which is pleasant enough.
