A warm verging on hot, fairly humid day, with a maximum temperature of 26.2C.

A pleasant day, with sunny intervals and lighter winds

Another dry day on Tuesday, with westerly winds and sunny intervals, the winds lighter than on Monday. Top temperature 19.2. The may trees now have red haws already, and the first potatoes were dug today, albeit rather small in size - very nice to eat, though. The ground is very dry underneath, so extensive watering was done in the late evening, depleting my water butts to less than half full.

A lovely day with sunny periods on Thursday 19th

A beautiful bird-singing day on 19th, with long sunny periods and little wind. The maximum temperature was 20.7C. All the flowers are early this year - the philadelphus is in full bloom, figs are nearly full-size and the potatoes have been flowering for a week or so. A nice, fresh spotted wood was settling around the bay tree in the afternoon. Thankfully, slugs have been in short supply - one advantage of the dry weather. So far we have had just over 50% of the monthly average rainfall for May - a lot more than places further east.

Cloudy and mild with rain later

A cloudy day, but feeling mild in the southwesterly breeze. A period of rain late afternoon gave 2.4mm, which helped water the garden and fill the water butts. The temperature reached 20.4C.

Another bright start on 16th May, but soon clouding up

May 16th started sunny, but cloud soon formed to give a mostly cloudy day, although the sky seemed bright at times. Maximum temperature a mild 19.3C, although the breeze kept it feeling chilly at times. The ground is dry again, with no significant rain in the forecast.

A ground frost morning on 4th May

Cloudy morning, but sunny periods later on the Royal Wedding Day

After a cool, cloudy start and a hazy north-easterly breeze, sunny intervals developed by late morning, becoming sunny periods with a thin cover of high cloud, by mid afternoon. Temperatures still well above the April average with a high of 19.7C by late afternoon. A nice fresh-looking speckled wood fluttered around the garden in the warm sunshine later in the day.

Another pleasant spring day

After a cloudy start, sunny intervals developed by lunchtime. The max temperature of 18.3C was well above average, but the northerly breeze made it feel cool in the shade. Still only 2.0mm rain this month.

Hot and sunny on 23rd April, but thundery showers brought some relief!

What must be record temperatures for April today, 23rd, as bright sun dominated the day until late afternoon, when large thunderclouds formed to give some rain that just about wet the ground and put a bit of water in the water butts. There were a few claps of thunder to go with it, but nothing close by. The ground dried out again later, but the temperature fell enough to give a fresh feel, especially as the wind picked up around the showers to give gusts up to 24 kts. In the end only 0.4mm of rain fell. The maximum temperature was 28.0C.

Less haze, less cloud and even warmer

Good Friday 22nd April was even warmer than Thursday, with the temperature peeking at 26.5C. A little more breeze from the south and less haze gave it a pleasanter feel than yesterday, although a lack of cumulus clouds made it a very bright, sunny day.

Yet another 'Hottest day of the year so far' on Thursday 21st

Hot and hazy again, but with more extensive cumulus forming later. I experienced a few large drops of rain around 4pm in the middle of Reading, but nothig in Bracknell as far as I could tell. Maximum temperature 26.1.

Even warmer today

The temperature peeked at 25.7C today, the highest so far this year.  High cumulus clouds became quite extensive during the afternoon, giving once again a hazy orange-hued  summer-like day.  Saw a Holly Blue, Orange Tip and a Speckled Wood today, plus a pretty yellow moth with reddish-brown wing tips.

A Mediterranean feel today as temperatures soar into the mid-twenties

The warmest day so far this year, with a maximum temperature of 24.2C, and with the hazy sky and lazy orange cumulus it felt more like August than April. Holly Blue and two Orange Tips seen today. My potatoes are a good six inches high and the ground is still bone dry. I shall have to do more watering this evening, but my two water butts are nearly empty. Sat outside with a beer after watering my other garden - bliss!

A bit cooler, but still well above average

After a very misty/hazy start, Monday 18th turned into another dry day with sunny periods, but with a noticable easterly breeze that kept the maximum temperature down to 18.8C, still some 6 degrees above average.

Yet another sunny and warm day

Temperature into the twenties

Very warm day with wall to wall sunshine and just a few high clouds about. The temperature reached 23.4C on a very dry, breezy, southerly airstream. The ground is getting seriously dry again, my water butts are getting low, and there doesn't seem any rain forecast for the next week or more.

A cooler day after a bright start

It started nicely, with just some high cloud around, but stratus then cumulus formed to make it a rather cloudy, cooler day, though still mild for early April, with a maximum temperatureof 15.3 C. There were some dark shower clouds around by 1700Z, but only a few spots of rain fell on my garden. Noted a potato shoot trying to break the surface this afternoon - a bit early! Also noted newly planted fruit trees beginning to bud. Aubretia and forget-me-nots very showy, and first honesty blooming.

A disappointing day

Cloudy today, with a few bursts of brightness. Mild, though, with a top temperature of 17.9C.

Two days of mild, breezy southwesterlies

Yesterday was cloudy, breezy and mild, with some drizzly rain at times. Today started similarly, but the sun broke through late in the day to give some pleasant afternoon sunshine. The 30cm soil temperature hit 10.1C today, so we can expect things to start growing apace in the garden.

==========================

Nice drop of rain for the garden.

Reasonable rain fell today; 2.2mm by 1500Z. The wind has become quite blustery too, with gusts up to 27kt.  Still cold and cloudy, though, with a max of only 11C. However, it looks like after tomorrow things could get really spring-like, with temperatures up to 20C forecast.

Just tipping over to zonal westerlies?

After early showery rain, the cold morning turned into a reasonable day, with sunny intervals, light winds and a maximum temperature of 16C. By 1400Z the southerly winds had freshened slightly, but even then were only gusting to around 11kt. Cloud thickened later in the afternoon.

At last a change is in the air.

Wind vane has drifted south at last, heralding a change to Atlantic south-westerlies with some welcome rain by late Wednesday. Today is another of those hazy, partly sunny sky days - just about the same as yesterday. Slight ground frost this morning at minus 0.4 C, but 30cm soil temperature now up to 9.2 C, so my fruit and vegetables should be putting on a spurt soon. Lettuce and sprouting broccoli are looking good in the cold frame, while the sweet peppers and tomato plants are doing well in the greenhouse. All the early potatoes are in and the lawn is mown.

Another placid day - and still no rain.

A hazy, lazy kind of day - muted sun through haze and medium cloud this morning, but cloud dispersing by lunchtime. Cooler ENE airstream now over the area, with euromurk limiting visibility to just a few kilometres. Ground beginning to look decidedly dry.

A better day than forecast!

It was certainly better than forecast today, with the temperature reaching 17C with hazy sunny intervals. This was good news for us, as we were able to wear out our three grand daughters by taking them to the park. Lots of insects and one Cabbage White butterfly seen this week, as well as hearing some loud croaking from the pond.

Another beautiful morning!

Saw the sun rising red in the east. After the frost on the roofs burns off it will be another glorious day. Grass minimum this morning minus 2.7C,  30cm soil temp 8.2C. Time to plant some more potatoes!

Spring has Sprung (for the moment, anyway)

Two days above 17C and gardening is well under way! 17.7C yesterday (23rd), 17.2 today (after a foggy start). Promising to be a bit cooler once the NE'erlies kick in tomorrow.

A dry month indeed!

With only 7.0mm falling on my garden in Bracknell, March is turning out to be the second driest month I have recorded since I started in February 2007. The driest I have recorded was 2.2mm in April 2007. As there  is only a week to go, and the weather continuing to be anticyclonic, there may not be much rain to come for the rest of this month, although the end of next week (30th & 31st of March) may see westerlies returning.
