    .
    That's getting a bit complicated as I'm sure I've read that global warming climate change is affecting oak bud burst/insect food/bird prey and there's 2 ash trees here 500mm apart and one comes into leaf over a week before the other.

      It started off bright with very little cloud and with a temperature of around 56f. But by the afternoon the clouds had started to move in from the East although the temperature managed to get to 60f, and it stayed dry. The Weather Forecaster say that April this year has been the driest for 6 years, and the forecast seems to be for more dry weather for the foreseeable future this month. Right now the temperature is 46f and the pressure reading is 1006hpa.:coffee::snorky:

      It's been constant drizzle up until 2.30pm when it turned a bit heavier, rain seems to have stopped around 3.30 but it's still pretty overcast but slightly brighter.

      Temp has struggled to 11C at the moment, but has been at 9C for most of the day.
      7mm of rain up till now.

      As I always say, this corner of the country often gets totally the opposite weather to the rest.
      And it dont help with the forecasters lumping us in with London.

      Went down to Dungeness this morning to buy fish, you couldn't even see the power station and it is quite a big building:biggrin:.

      Just my luck to take two days off when it rains, it's not rained for over a month.:mad:

          Same as Jiffy, but I was in the car going to Burnham on Sea and back again so I didn't notice the cold wind.:smile:

              I was in Chester for most of the day which started of with clear blue skies and not a cloud in sight. By lunchtime the clouds slowly rolled in but the temperature rose to 63f and if was nice to have the Sun shining through the Office Window. The temperature at the moment is 52f and the pressure reading is 1007hpa.:coffee::snorky:

                We had a sunny 58f day. I was delighted to be able to putter around outside while pea soup was being cooked by the power of the sun.

                Clouds are now rolling in for a visit of 5 days and lows around the 36f mark. But after that, we're past frost threats :hapydancsmil:

                    We need rain as it's good for the garden! :snork:

                    Apart from 15 minutes of drizzle yesterday we still have no rain here in Shineyland ((over two months drought). So I still can't dig the ground. It's dull outside but no rain :doh:
