18.1degC on 31st March. Very pleasant out there for the gardening ...

Hi Martin,

I'm glad someone else has noted this, I found it very odd that we struggled
to dig a small, in depth, but long trench on Easter Monday in the garden to
lay some armoured cable. Given the forecast of what could easily be
explained as a cyclonic southerly, I am sure we will not have problems come
this time next week.

ATB, Joe

Max 19.2c at Guildford - warmest day of the year by 0.1c !

Just been for an hours cycle ride around Horsley, Ripley and Burpham in
almost cloudless skies. Absolutely Great!

Very different here Martin.
Max 10.0 deg C today and 5.9 mm rain.
Yep we could do with a drop more rain just 50.8 mm here so far this month !
Grass now growing like fury and daffodils and other Spring bulbs are a treat.
Trees should come into leaf soon and the cherry blossom is starting to swell.

Same country - different world.

Ah but the SE may only get patchy rain unless some are lucky enough to get a
heavy shower. Further west and north should get plenty though.

Gave the mower its annual service and then mowed the lawn - between bits of
work. Pleasant outside but getting a bit uncomfortable indoors. The aircon
went on for the first time this year.

wind running, the newly broken soil is drying rapidly - and in sheltered

.... yes indeed: as of 07GMT, 7mm of welcome rain. A steady fall from
about 22Z yesterday evening - the garden has 'woken-up' and although it
is a gloomy old morning, everything seems fresh and alive out there
first thing. We do need quite a bit more though - 10mm could fall and
given the high (potential) evaporation rates at this time of year, it
would soon be 'lost' (except in the water butt, which is nicely full!)
