Wall-to-wall sunshine all day here.

Despite the cloud clearing by 10am and clear blue sky for the rest of the day I only reached a max of 17.8c.

Bullsh*t really, again the only place in the whole country under a blanket of thickening cloud, with these stupid chilly north easterly.... I hope the models are right for next week and the north easterly dies a terrible death...

As you can see from that image, it was fine in this part of the se again. Just that chilly breeze, but it made it comfortable to do my hedge

I just hope it doesn't actually rain next weekend, we've been suffering with this chilly bs for weeks and when it finally decides to warm up properly it will come with bloody rain

Beautiful start here today, should be sunshine all the way. Hopefully a touch warmer too at 23C

Wish it would turn unsettled, so many hedgehogs arriving at rescues severely  dehydrated & starving the ground is baked & rock hard preventing them from foraging for a lot of what they eat :(

We're supposed to be a nation of animal lovers but I don't think the majority of people even think about leaving shallow bowls of water out in both front & back gardens for wildlife in long dry spells like we're currently experiencing.

Warming up nicely now, 20C should be a warm lovely day ahead.

Good post. I have three extra large shallow plant pot water holders in my garden and filled every day. The birds love them.

Bit of SUP in Poole Harbour this afternoon. 
 

Spectacular 

 

Have to say, just been in the water albeit on the shallow part of the harbour and it’s ridiculously warm for early June. By a mile the warmest I’ve ever felt it at this time of year!

Had to turn up the AC at work, freezing

ECM looking good for settled and potentially hot weather next week

[TROY]

Another fine early summers day, the cloud and storms stayed to the west and north west. Clear blue skies and very warm , lets hope more of the same tomorrow. We have not had any rain now since the first week of May.

Time for the Autumn MRC thread?
