Cloudless (and for once not too hazy) sky all day so far. Sunshine recorder
turned on at 06:24 this morning and unless there is any change it looks like
this will easily be the sunniest day of the year so far and the sunniest day
since the 27th of July (14.9 hours) last year.

It is also warm too and the temperature is currently nudging towards 20°C
making it now the warmest day of the spring to date.

Just a light NE breeze making it feel quite 'summer-like' out there.

(13:40), 19.8°C, RH 50%, DP 9.2°C, 1024 hPa (R), Wind 3 mph NE.

The sunshine recorder turned off at 19:55 giving a total of 13.5 hours of
sunshine today which 96% of the total possible and just about as good as it
gets.

Just nudged through the 20°C mark with 20.2°C this afternoon making it the
warmest day since the 12th of October (20.5°C) last year. Overnight min was
4.7°C.

The soil is now quite dry on the allotment, the spuds, cabbages etc needed a
good watering. A drop of rain would be welcome now, the water butts are
nearly empty.

Noticed this morning that the bluebells appear to be at their best now, and
are looking better than ever; fantastic.
