I don't think I can ever remember such a combination of all-day
sunshine (literally) and such low temperatures in March in the south
of England (Hampshire) before. This really is a very unusual spell of
weather. The strength of the sun suggested something almost
approaching summer, the temperature suggested we were still in
January. Completely bizarre...

I was thinking that whilst out walking Nick. You really could not feel the
sun at all due to the significant well below freezing wind chill.


Mind you my sedums on a north facing wall are budding ready for
flowering at their usual time - I think they must go by daylight hours
rather than temp.
