[Methuselah]

Sunny and 19C. Best of the year, so far...

[Stargazer]

Will have to wait until Sunday to find out what the maximum for this week was on my thermometer - no doubt it'll be a lot cooler by then. In the meantime, here in Luxor it's peaked at around 30 today and it's as sunny as Reading

[Summer Sun]

Another grand day looks like our max will be 21.5°C

I've never seen so many females in short shorts, and it's still March. Crikey

Well, i visited the met office website today, saw the new style

They have a link called Met Office Video, for the daily forecast

Today's forecast presented by Margaret Emerson

Could be a 23 or 24 in London today, and by Saturday, a max of only 14c in the London area, but she said, that

is still above the average

So, i guess that means right now, it's at least 10 degrees above the average, maybe a bit more
