I got 19.1C in the late afternoon sunshine as the front cleared.
Felt quite pleasant though. Very different from the gusty winds
and driving drizzle I had for a time this morning.
Where did that come from? I don't know!
It was forecast to be bright first thing, then cloud over with the
possibility of some drizzle by evening.
Not a good forecast

Hi Norman, last night we had a near gale up here in Haytor. Internal doors were
banging due to windows being open and the mature trees were swaying and rustling
loudly. Very warm too with a min of 14.1 deg C compared to just 8.0 deg C on the
13th and 13.0 on the 14th. Still managed to get to sleep though as it all
sounded rather nice !

Will.

I'm based at Southampton and these high temperatures in the last
couple of days have surprised me - it didn't feel anything like that
warm. My estimation would have been Sunday 21c, Monday 23c, Tuesday
23c. I can only guess that low humidity has made it feel a good deal
less hot than the temperatures indicate. The first 10 days of the
month actually felt significantly warmer - and were more humid.

Have to disagree there Nick, it felt every bit of the nr 29C here in
Christchurch yesterday, and every bit of the 28.4C the day before.....

My mum (near Christchurch) was 'moaning' about the heat too recently and
she's not normally one
to complain about hot weather. It's been uncomfortably hot (at least for me)
down here too.
I was getting 28°C again on the car gauge this afternoon around Tiverton;
not a good day to restart my tennis career.. ;-p

Barring the odd hiccup we seem to have had a prolonged period of dry, fine
weather down here since the beginning of May, almost continental in feel.

Anyway, I've had enough of it; bring on the thundery northerlies !

Hasn't been that noticeable to me, true it's been often dry and fine,
but it is early summer after all! There have been short wet periods,
the first 10 days or so of May, and around the May bank holiday, and
even the rest of the time some days have been cloudy. The persistent
cold, wet Mays of 2002 and 2003 - now they I would call unusual...
