Hazy sun here today. Because of course we aren't allowed pure blue skies here!

I'm not too sure it'll last for long though!

Lovely down at Arne today. No Ospreys or Eagles this time, but our first ever Wheatear.

[Andy Bown]

Can’t believe we get a warm mostly sunny if hazy day and a few people still moan! 
 

Absolutely glorious and a million times better than most of the last 6 months plus what might occur the rest of this month!! 
 

Managed to get the sponge mowed too! 

[matt111]

Not too bad today. Started off a bit cloudy and felt cool in the breeze but when the sun eventually came out it felt nice.

[dr weather]

Two dry days in a row. Drought!

Sssssshhh, you’ll frighten the water companies, their a nervous bunch at the moment with sewerage overflows!

 Dorsetbred I've probably just given them an excuse to put up their prices.

Morning All, the on/off sun cycle must be set to "Off" today. The overnight low of 11.6°C at: 07:30 has managed to climb a whole 0.5°C this morning, with the RH92% and light breeze in from the SW.

From Above a large part of the area free of cloud

On Golden sands - meh

[Mapantz]

Sunny spells, 15.2°C.

[Dorsetbred]

Yup, Golden sands is Golden again

[jy]

Rather nice day for gardening duties,drying quickly,more rain required lol

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jy I need to get out there too ...

[AWD]

After a bright, sunny start it’s turned much more cloudier here again now;

still warm, very respectable for April mind, obviously far from terrible but would be so much nicer to see a more dominant, sunny regime.

On another note, fly season is well underway again!!  Damn meat flies.

Lovely day. Nothing more to add.

[jtay]

Spoke too soon. Cloud has rolled in now. 

Just popped inside to see the United goal at Bournemouth and they're bathed in Sunshine down there.

[Andy Bown]

THREE DRY DAYS IN A ROW!!! 
 

Might get a 4th tomorrow!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Cloud came here too for an hour or 2. But all in all a good day

[jtay]

Not bad here. Bit of high cloud around, but it's Sunny enough. Much cooler than yesterday, although it's a lovely 18C in the greenhouse, so I'm staying in there until it warms up a bit outside.

[MP-R]

Random band of high cloud yet again ensuring that it’s bright rather than sunny… but it is bright nonetheless but feeling rather autumnal compared to the previous two days.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, faint sunshine this morning due to the veil of high cloud shown below:

The overnight low of 6.4°C at: 07:08 has risen to 12.6°C, RH68% and light air movement from the N.

On Golden sands the beach bar is busy

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 Dorsetbred WEird seeing so many people on the beach!

Well look at that ... Back to cloud ... Whatta surprise. We've had our 2 days that we're allowed of hazy sunshine. Would be good to see some proper sun shine and blue skies but we aren't allowed that here! Blue skies are a thing of the past like snow!

Didn't really last that long, look

[Dorsetbred]

Looking forward, can this "really" be the case I wonder. From ECMWF, and operational run of rainfall:

[Bristawl Si]

Sunny with high wispy cloud. 14c, but feels warmer in suntrap back garden, although breeze has a distinct chill to it.

Still, been a decent weekend for approaching mid-April and very useable in terms of getting stuff done tidying the garden, brushing in dry kiln sand for front block paving and finishing treating and jetwashing patio in prep for re-pointing it this coming week.
