Today is going to be the 1st dry day here since 16 April, that's 20 days!!

After a cloudy start it's now mostly sunny with some Cirrus, Cumulus, and Altocumulus.

There's a fresh NNE breeze and it's 13.8c.

[Richard2901]

Awful again. Just the same as yesterday with some sunshine in the morning degenerating into a dull, cloudy afternoon. Just had a hail shower and the temperature is a ridiculously cold 6.2C

No frost again last night this time due to cloud. Min was 1.7C. Max 9.5C. Had the sunshine lasted into afternoon then we could have seen double figures for only the 2nd time in 19 days.

[TonyH]

Surprisingly pleasant here this weekend. Feeling quite warm in the sunny spells, max 15c. No rain either this weekend although light showers are falling close by along a convergence line.

[Summer Sun]

Surely these maxes of 15/16c are wrong. XC Weather says most are about 8-10c right now. Granted it doesnt feel like that in the sun but the true temperature is surely not what is stated above.

True but search Darlington and scroll down to look at the other stations. Apart from one, all are between 7-11c and a couple 12c. Of course I wish it was 16c but the figure seems a bit rogue compared to everywhere else.
