Default [WR] S.Essex - mildest day since Boxing Day

Today's max of 8.9C is the highest since Boxing Day. The last maximum in
double figures was December 10th so you could make a case for the cool
spell starting then and continuing. So far , rather than remembering this
winter for extreme cold, I will remember it for its complete lack of any
truly mild spells.

Indeed. Proper stuff. Good for the garden in the long run, killing off all
the viruses and bacteria that can survive in horrible mild winters. I'm
looking forward to another good veg and fruit crop again this summer and
some nice flowers free from over-wintering pests and diseases.
