    Bilbo, it can't be 2 degrees where you are :nonofinger: as the 2 degrees are here this morning. I understand that the sun will very shortly chase them away and a lot of the higher degrees will arrive.

      In Milan area and Northern Italy overall, slightly below +10 C early in the morning, well above +20 C in mid afternoon.
      Temperatures well above the average. Absolutely.
      Unusual drought as well.
      Peasents are worrying about.
      They probably will have to water their growing-fields in large advance (normally they do that in summer months. Sure enough, not in march or april...)

      It took till mid day for the clouds to clear here.
      It felt warm in the sun this afternoon.
      Looked at the thermometer, 12C max:frown:

      A bit of a shock after the last few days.

      Typical spring weather here at present.
      Warm sunny days, but a definite nip in the air as soon as the sun goes down, with heavy dews or ground frosts first thing in the morning.
      No rain since last weekend and none forecast for the coming week either.
      Looks like our annual spring drought has started.

        Warm and sunny with some high cloud, max 18c.
        Seems to be a pattern developing, warm Spring, cool Summer, mild/warm Autumn, and cold Winter three years in a row, it has been here.

        Very warm day again today, 20 degrees, no wind, clear blue skies, ground and pots drying out quite quickly. One rain butt nearly empty after watering today..

        I remember having rain here; usually after long dry spells, that leaves a coating of fine sand/dust over cars etc.

        Frost on the ground this morning but there is bright sunshine on the tops of the trees and it will soon sort out the frost when it reaches the ground.

        Vicky, when we get that 'muddy rain' we are usually told that the winds have brought sand across from the Sahara.
