[Thundery wintry showers]

Came back to South Tyneside from Lancaster today.

In Lancaster, after a dull misty start, the sun got out at around 10am, and it was glorious sunshine (15C) already by 11am when I left.

In Tyneside it was dull until 2pm, but then the sun broke through to leave a sunny afternoon, and it maxed at 15C- so probably not as warm as Lancaster will have been, but nontheless, both locations saw the sun today after a very dull week in both cases.

21C reached at Trawscoed. Very nearly 70F in old money.

What a stunning day we had here in Swindon.The day started very misty, which cleared around mid-day leaving a beautiful clear sky.Went for a walk in a local country park and it felt like a perfect summers day, temp was around 20c with little or no wind.

Quite a disappointment, while some areas enjoyed lots of sun and 20°C, it was an overcast, dull and misty day here. It also felt quite nippy in a light south-easterly wind off of the North Sea with visibility below 100 metres at times. Due to this, the temperatures only rose to 13.8°C and therefore kept my March average, just below the 1971-2000 average. I expect that to change tomorrow, but any sunshine looks unlikely.

Current Temp: 9.3°C

Max Temp: 13.8°C (at 14:17)
