Dry and sunny with light winds in Keswick, very summery indeed and a welcome change.... Currently 18 degrees under mainly clear skies

[Coast]

Despite the wise words of BBC South East today's forecast at 6am this morning, the day has continued grey, grim and grotty. Not a hint of sun and SAD is already setting in early in the season.

As you can see, the SE is still hiding under the Monday morning blanket

[Andy Bown]

Early mist and low Statocumulus gradually burned off to leave what is now a lovely day with warm sunshine and scattered Cumulus / Cirrus.

A gentle variable breeze, 21.1c, 76% humidity.

[The PIT]

Warm and Sunny

Temp 21.3C

Wind f1 SW

Rainfall nil

[Richard2901]

Warmest day of the year here with the temp hitting 24.5C. Not that there was any chance to enjoy it stuck at work and cloud rolled in at 3:30pm wiping out the sunshine. By 5pm it was actually raining. So rather than leave early to enjoy the sun I got to stay late waiting for the rain to clear

Temperature down to just 17.4C now and it's a vile grey evening like 90+% have been since 1st April. With the rain and a total of just 5.2 hours of sun this has to go down as the worst "warmest day of the year" I can remember. All the others have been sunny for the bulk of the day and completely dry.
