Same here in West Sussex a stunning day, best of the year so far.

Despite the terrible forecast ('Atlantic' rain rarely make it this far),
it's been a gorgeous day here in East Kent; wall-to-wall, brilliant
sunshine.

Spent the morning riding a loop out through the North Downs and back via
Canterbury; first time this year in shorts.

Car thermometer reported 17C as we drove out for lunch at the Griffon's
Head in Chillenden.

Back home now in Ramsgate it's 16C in a gentle Southerly.

I'll second that Simon, same here in Southend-on-Sea, a super weekend
in the garden and I even spent an hour around the outside swimming
pool at David Lloyds this morning and caught the sun. Most unexpected,
but very much appreciated. Rumor has it, it had something to do with
my computer crashing during the night, hence the bright sunshine
today ;-)

Saturday 15.9°C, 9.10 hours of sunshine
Sunday 16.8°C, 11.24 and counting, hours of sunshine.
No rain at all.
