End of a spell??

Saturday might have seen the end of our fantastic spell of April weather. It started off sunny and warm with the temperature reaching 24.7°C a new high for the year by lunchtime








Then a rather dramatic change. It suddenly clouded over, as you can see from the graph the sunshine disappeared and the temperature suddenly fell. There was the sound of thunder rumbling in the background. A few rather large spots of rain fell - this was it some rain at last!









In the end it just never happened and all we had was enough rain to wet the patio but never enough to wet the surface of the soil. By late afternoon we had some more pleasant sunshine but no real rain. The rainfall for the day was a pretty measly 0.6mm. Our monthly total now stands at only 2.6mm after a record dry month for March.

  1. Well, Edinburgh got a bucketload yesterday. Today the sun came out for the first time for days. Hare (what you call fret?) all week. But first serious rain yesterday - glorious!

  2. We've missed out on the showers here so it's almost 2 months now without any serious rain. Drizzle forecast for tomorrow seems the most rain we have forecast to the end of the month.
