Some heavy showers on Wednesday some with hail and sleet mixed in. Sunny spells in between the showers made it feel quite pleasant especially in the morning.
Spring 2012 had now collided with spring 2011. The spring of 2011 started off with a cool March but then warmed up leaving us with the warmest spring for several hundred years. Spring 2012 started off with a very warm, but not record breaking March, so average temperatures for 2012 at the end of March were well above last year's and we looked set for another record breaking year.

The green line represents last spring and the orange line spring 2012. Last year was certainly the better option for gardeners with temperatures steadily rising as spring progressed. This year has presented some problems with temperatures cooling down. As a gardener I don't expect April to be colder than March but that's the case so far. Hopefully the weather will improve soon but the forecast into next week doesn't look too promising.

I haven't seen next week's forecast. It's nice and bright today though, I think I'll get out somewhere and make the most of it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen what you might call an official forecast but the sites on the Internet are suggesting the cool weather will continue for the next week with a strong possibility of frost over the weekend. Wasn't March wonderful!
