5 also. Feeling good this morning. Good excuse to laze about in the garden and avoid all the jobs however, so I’ll keep up the cough for a bit

Hahahha. Yea I'm feeling alright. Got in the garden a bit yesterday afternoon. the worst is over. Think i'll go out again today. We are free to go out tomorrow as NHS website says to stay in for 5 days.

Cloud from the N of the region has taken some of the edge off the warm sunshine, after a peak of 24.6°C at: 13:58 , the solar plot showing the high cloud breaking up the solar measure

Managed to eek a tad bit more out of the solar energy with 24.8°C at: 16:13. A crackin' day by all accounts.

Have these people no homes, OR are they all hotel residents?

Sunny all day although it turned hazy at times this afternoon. Ended up being the warmest day of the year so far and ended with a nice warm evening. Reached 23.6°C

[*Stormforce~beka*]

The cloud never arrived here...

24.1c. Hottest day. Absolute perfection!

Gusty Easterly off Salisbury Plain, strong sunshine and low humidity. Washing will dry in about half an hour today!

Really noticeable today that gusting north easterly, whilst the overnight temperature remained slightly higher with 8.2°C at: 05:20, the  current temperature is lower than yesterday with 16.6°C at: 10:49.

From above a fair amount of cloud being blown this way off the North sea

Whilst on Golden sands, the numbers are down today

Largely sunny again this afternoon after some cloud floating around earlier. Don’t think 20°C will be breached but still got an hour or so for that to be achieved. Noticeably cooler in that breeze!

[jtay]

Musical chairs here trying to find the perfect spot.

Patio is roasting, out of the wind. Much cooler under the brolly and on the lawn in a keen breeze.

[Dorsetbred]

Numbers on the beach have increased even thought the NE breeze persists in keeping the temperatures lower than yesterday. Peaked at 20.9°C at: 14:44, still a slight chance to up that figure, but the breeze now seems consist, so we shall see!

On Golden sands

[Mapantz]

21.6°C & sunny all day.

[matt111]

Sunny all day, a bit cool in the breeze but otherwise another nice day. Reached 19.7°C

The aliens have arrived in Dorset this evening! On a more serious note, I know there is a more technical term for this type of cloud formation and why they form?

Yep, definitely aliens…we’re here.

Lenticular.

It was darn cold when I went out at 07.30 with cloud and the strong wind! Slowly warming now it’s mostly sunny.

Morning All,

 

 

I wish this NE wind would do one its been like it for weeks.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning all, here we go again, a bright sunny start to the day, after the overnight low of 7.2°C at: 05:12 , having crawled slowly up to the current 17.1°C , RH61% and an Easterly 10mph breeze.

On Golden sands the 5musketeers head towards the water!

Looking at the ECM out into next week, the suggestion is that the the NE/E breeze continues through until the weekend of the 9th

I agree, it still feels cold unless you can be in a very sheltered sunny spot. Apart from that it's lovely to have blue skies and sunshine.

Could do with the odd shower though. Already having to do some watering of the garden plants.

I wonder if it's only in Britain that we are never happy with the weather. It's either too hot, too cold, too rainy, too grey, too windy etc.

It certainly is it would feel a lot warmer if it came from a different direction but as Dorset states its looking like its with us for a while longer.

[matt111]

Sunny until it got dark when it clouded over, basically a reversal of what we were getting frequently not long ago when it cleared once it got dark. Reached 20.9°C

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a cloudy night keeping the overnight temperature up, with the low 10.9°C at: 05:41, meanwhile the slow start to sunshine means it's cooler than of late, currently 15.1°C, RH74% and a 12mph breeze in from the N/ENE.

From above the cloud is burning back slowly
