See you managed a 3 in Reading on 15th. Tomorrow through to Saturday could be interesting.

It was raining 4s yesterday, even as far north as Leeds, South Wales with the highest values. A day on the river tomorrow so will need some sunscreen possibly.

Yep, 4.3 for Reading and the same today. A bit more cloud forecast for tomorrow - although honestly today's cloud forecast was wrong. It's been sunshine for much of the day.

Have fun tomorrow.

4.1 today and 4 yesterday. Slight increase in humidity expected over next two days might have an impact but tomorrow could still potentially pip the 4.3 year best so far.

No hirondelles here yet- love a swallow or martin at this time of year.

Plenty of 4+s in Reading since last post. 4.7 or 4.8 (see what you think) on 16th the highest so far. Surely a 5 somewhere from Wednesday to Saturday is on the cards- the MetO seems to think so.

Since last post there have been 12 5+ readings but no 6s yet- highest at Reading being 5.8 on 3rd. Impressively, all but 1 day from 30/4 to 8/5 inclusive (a 9 day run) reached or exceeded 5.

Didn't materialise in Reading. Loads of 6s but the BH didn't pull a 7.
