Whilst onsite today there were little dust-devils blowing around. All the
silt/mud etc that washed off the fields onto the roads in February has now
turned to dust and is being blown around in the wind. Not good when you
get that in your eyes.

The moor is now tundra-like, hard and dry. Min. here was -0.7C Max. +7.6C.
The grass in my garden is extremely worn in places and yellow/brown in
others. With soil temperatures 2-3C and the dryness, nothing is growing.
