Time for a new Weather topic. I've called it just 'Weather' this time, I suppose we will be moaning it is too hot and dry shortly !

Which leads me nicely on to a bright sunny morning here and 22C already.

really? It's a wee bit chilly here this morning 9C

[Maggi Young]

22C ? It's not even as warm as that indoors!

[Anthony Darby]

If you think we can fall for that one today Andrew...........? 22^oC indeed. In your dreams. And as for too hot? Never!!

[mark smyth]

OMG I didnt even think what day it was. Good one Andy Pandy!

[Andrew]

22C ? It's not even as warm as that indoors!

It was in my home, I never said it was outside which was only 11C .

[mark smyth]

for the last week or 10 days we have had fantastic sunsets visible from all over the town. Have you had them too?

and too show how the flowers are being affected due to lack of rain

[Lesley Cox]

Are these in pots Mark? Even here, plants in the garden don't wilt like that in drought. They just grow shorter. I hope you got the hose out after taking the pics.

first and last are in the ground. The Anemone is in a 4 inch pot but the Narcissus are in a 5L+ pots

But on the other hand the blossom this year is outstanding. Looks at this cherry planted by the road service. Prunus spinosa - black thorn/ sloe - are looking brilliant. I nearly bought a Magnolia loebneri at the weekend that was laiden in pink flushed flowers

Often too warm and very dry here in Norfolk.  Forecast a warm Easter with no rain for at least a week.  Narcissus in a dry raised bed wilting a bit  
Anyone for cacti?

A stunning day here in NE England - frost on the car this morning but clear and crisp and now lovely and warm - really feels like spring

Another warm and sunny day in the west   - with no wind.  Visited Glenarn and Geilston gardens today, then the Hill House at Helensburgh ending up at Loch Lomond - see picture.
Weather moan!  When we left it was cloudless, with only aircraft vapour trails in the sky.  Three hours later, looking back at the sky towards Glasgow, there was a thin veil of white clouds.   With the centre of Scotland being the main flyway to the USA, we get all the carbon, water vapour and unburned kerosine dumped on us.  These vapour trails expand and form light clouds which can, by mid-afternoon, give us an overcast sky.   We get little enough sun so it is rather annoying to see this happening.

The weather forecast tonight said that cant remember the town in Aberdeenshire had the hottest temperature today - 21C
