Hopefully, there will be more unforecasted heavy showers of rain and that it will be more widespread. Today is much cooler than yesterday as it has just nudged to 18.2C at 13:16. The temperature inside is 22.6C. It was overcast earlier on in the day and the sun only started to appear from midday onwards. My poppies are in bloom on one day and the other day their petals are closed.

The rain that fell in South Ockendon in the early afternoon left a lovely fresh smell which I have not smelled since the 90's.

AURORAS VS. TWILIGHT: It's that time of year. Arctic auroras are disappearing--swallowed by the waxing glow of the summer sun. "Time is running out for the auroras as bright summer nights take over here in the North," says Thomas Kast of Oulu, Finland. "Last night (April 26th) I might have seen the last auroras of the season."

SURPRISE GEOMAGNETIC STORM: The first geomagnetic storm of 2020 (category G1) took forecasters by surprise on April 20th when a CME hit Earth's magnetic field, sparking bright auroras over Canada and some northern-tier US states. "Northern lights danced across the entire northwestern Montana sky early this morning," reports Philip Granrud. "I photographed them with a wide angle lens on top of my car several miles outside of Kalispell."

THE NITROGEN FRINGE: For weeks, aurora tour guide Rayann Elzein of Utsjoki, Finland has dreaded the end of aurora season. If this was it, it was a doozy. "I have almost no words to describe what I saw tonight!" he says. "There was a crazy, fast and bright aurora show, with many pink fringes, almost non-stop for 45 minutes."

Yes please, as I have lots of plants in my garden (shrubs, wildflowers and trees) that need tending. Two of my planters are flooded with rain water. I also have a makeshift pond (using a blue council plastic recycle box) to observe the first signs of tadpoles and to seed my native wildflower seeds.

It was the year without a winter as all it was very wet, very wild and very mild weather. Completely unseasonable and it was more like an extended autumn. I would not have mind if it was a frosty winter, as at least that is seasonable weather. But we got the dreaded trio of a hyped up jet-stream, a very cold polar vortex and the Azores High which was a recipe for a disaster along with a warmer than average North Pacific, and a colder than average, as well as an absence of a North Atlantic Tripod.
