    Yesterday was one of those days that was "the good, the bad and ugly"; we had pleasant warm hazy sunshine, then breeze with rain, then no wind but constant drizzle, the temperature topped out at 12 degrees again. During the night the temperature hasn't dropped below 8 degrees for the second night running; today is forecast to be warmer, just hope it stays dry long enough for me to get a few jobs done..:biggrin:

    Yesterday was sunny all day with a slight chill to the wind. Good weather for reshaping the edges of the lawns.

    Currently it's 42.2F and dry with no frost. I've looked up the weather for our postcode and 'the weather now' bit tells me it's raining!!!! They obviously haven't bothered to look out the window before putting it on the net :doh:

    Whoooopee !! Shiny wet patio this morning. Very gentle "mizzle" - a typically soft Irish type of morning. Everything out there looks comfy with it. It does remind me of Vancouver weather. They have loads of days like this in Spring. The bonus being: there's no wind . 8c - not warm enough for the toms to go outside for a looksee .Enjoy your day everyone,

    Just had to come on here and give the good news. It's just started RAINING :dancy:

    After yesterday's promised rain didn't turn up (fourth time in a row they had got it wrong) I wasn't expecting today to be any better. We spent most of the day outside - not getting wet!

    The rain started here just over ten minutes ago - not much, but it's a start. Update later :)

    Cloudy all day yesterday, a light breeze and mild; temperature topped 14 degrees, we had a few brief outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, but not too bad..

    After a North-windy day all over yesterday with temperatures well below +20 C and down at +9 C in the evening, early this morning Milan Malpensa was at ZERO DEGREES.
    Right now (8 AM, local time) temperature at +1 C.
    The air is sparkling, the sky is deep blue. Large visibility (I guess at least 30miles of visibility).

    The light rain that started about 4.30 a.m. petered out about 5.30 :sad:. Since then it has just been a wet mist - hardly enough to show any drops on water. The forecast says it should get fairly heavy later today - fingers crossed! :)
