Lovely day here with a high of 24C, and even the gusty northerlies couldn't take too much off that. No clouds in the sky after 11AM either.

Nationwide high reported as 37C in Culverden, this is the third time so far this month we have seen 36C or above somewhere in the country.

Still a white frost on all surfaces, temp barely above freezing at 0.5 °C. Good to see the frosts back even though I'm going to have scrap the car in a while.

I see some of the notorious cold spots in south central England are still a couple of degrees below freezing.

[Andy Bown]

Quite a rare occurence with a 100%, or I should say a 8/8 okta sky, of Cirrus allowing 'unbroken' hazy/lightbulb sunshine.

There was a good frost until an hour ago after a minimum of -1.2c and at present the temperature is 2.1c with humidity at 89%.

Could be a good day for haloes and sundogs.

Good to see the frosts back even though I'm going to have scrap the car in a while.

No need to do that is there Nick !
