No idea about the early morning (I had a long and tiring day yesterday so
slept late) but for the rest of the day, today has been comfortably the
best day of the year so far; certainly the first day at which it was nice
to sit outside in a T-shirt at 8pm.

Maximum was 22.2°C, which is the highest of the year, beating 20°C on 24
April - so it's taken a month to better that! Virtually cloudless
throughout, with just the odd wisp on the horizon as the sun went down
just now, and a very gentle breeze. Currently 16.1°C.

More days like this, please! I know tastes differ, especially in terms of
temperature but for me this was just about the perfect summer's day (even
if it is still May!) and it's a shame this weather isn't going to last.

Until I'm acclimatised, that's about as warm as I can find comfortable.

I'm generally happy up to about 25°C, given reasonably low humidity, on a
day when I don't actually have to *do* anything - as was the case
yesterday. Temperatures in the teens are all very well if I'm rushing
around getting things done, but I'd find that sort of temperature
slightly disappointing for just sitting in the garden with a book.

Naturally the likes of July 2006 are too much whatever the circumstances!

Especially when you're stuck doing jury service in an unventilated
Victorian courthouse...
