Default spring easterlies are here

Hi, All,

It's good to know in these changing times that the good old spring
easterly can still make an appearance in NE England and also that the
North Sea is still relatively cool enough to make the next week's
daily forecasts the traditional challenge in our area.


Hehe. I like the glib way it gets skipped over on the forecasts -
"Perhaps some cloud near the east coast, but apart from that everywhere
will be warm and sunny".

Pah!

Yesterday afternoon, the fret came on in full force, even this far
inland (Swaffham, Norfolk). Within an hour, we'd gone from 17c in
sunshine to 9c in mist, drizzle and a strong NE wind.
