The complete opposite here, full on grey slate cloud, but now at 1pm it’s just starting to thin, I still can’t see Mr Sunshine though

You couldn't believe it was the same day yesterday.

we had the same in the morning, with quite a chilly wind too. About midday it broke and was a glorious afternoon.. Think I overdid the sun though!

Differences in just 10 miles was noticeable yesterday

Not bad at all today 19c and  

This forthcoming week is looking dry, a little cool to start with but warmer towards the end

[Arctic Hare]

Very decent day today. Finally broke 20 °C for the first time in 2023, a reasonable amount of hazy sunshine (though that's now gone) and pleasantly light winds. Yesterday afternoon and today have made one and a half nice days in a row, which may be a record for this year so far!

Our part of the region looks best for temps

Just got above 20C here also with a 20.2C.

It was a struggle though as the cloud from the North west pushed down and dropped the temps immed by 3C

Certainly wasnt expecting rain today, wandered out to water the tomatoes and thought, oh, I might not have to bother.. 

 

 

Strange sunset too..

[Arctic Hare]

A generally good day today. A new 2023 high (21.5 °C) and really feeling very warm when the sun was out, as long as I was out of the wind. A bit too much gloom later on for my liking - that perennial late afternoon problem. But a far cry from the dross of a couple of weeks ago, so I won't complain too much!

[Polar Maritime]

Sunny spells here and warm I've got lots of outdoor jobs done, veg patch is all finnished and planted, lawn mowed today, the woodpeckers are back on the feeder's which is nice to see again.

Just a thought, upon the passing rain - its clearing now and has a good chance of some 'last chance saloon' solar heating.

Im holding straws but here you go:

 

 

Added the clouds heading south (ish) East is roof top, West is the brightser sunlit.

To my old hat at this - something is happening! @Arnie Pie your viewing potential looks good

[Polar Maritime]

Glorious day here with clear blue skys and a nice breeze, a good day for getting outside jobs done..

[matty40s]

Someone is happy..

[Polar Maritime]

Yes same here.. hoovered and washed the car, washing drying on line, lovely Spring day with temp currently 17c.

18 May 2023 Time-Lapse

 

[Arctic Hare]

A very solid day today. Still not that warm, but 20.8 °C with a reasonable amount of sunshine at times is more than okay for me. Ideally I'd have liked slightly less cloud in the afternoon, but if that's the worst thing I have to complain about, things aren't too bad!

[Polar Maritime]

Another glorious day with clear blue skys and little wind to speak of, just mowed the lawn and got a slight sweat on..

Bright & Sunny - 24 May 2023 Time-Lapse

 

[matty40s]

Well, only 15 miles done yesterday, found a spot in the middle of nowhere.

 

Walked to the pub in Yardley Gobion,which seems to have shut down in last 2 weeks, no signs up, tables still laid out, no lights on, it would have made a killing this weekend.

[Dancerwithwings]

It was Wall to Wall sunshine yesterday

Today cloud has invaded from the East…..Boohoo
 

Edit, it’s trying with the odd glimpse…..️

Could be worse though ️

Not convinced about dry tomorrow? looked wet for a few days now

and it was dry in the end!

[Terminal Moraine]

0.2 mm rain from drizzle early this morning brought to an end an 18 day spell with no measurable rain. A couple of days ago the charts seemed to indicate it could almost be a record breaking rain-less spell but the North Sea has ended those ideas.

[Dancerwithwings]

I’ve been stuck at 11’s and 12’s today…..Brrrr

where are the 20’s we were supposed to be having

 

[Terminal Moraine]

Between 8 and 9.5c here so far today. It's still overcast but the drizzle has stopped.

models/forecasts are very poor with north sea mist, I know my location so definitely expecting this
