What do you mean *begins*!

IMO anything over 80F counts - and here it's been at that level for the
last 3 days.

Interesting to see the Donna Nook low of 6.7, it being coastal.
I guess the North Sea is still pretty cold, as on Wednesday and Thursday
evening the sea fret moved inland here and although they were lovely warm
evenings to start, they were preceeded by a really cool breeze off the sea.
