Thick fog until around 11am, then should be more glorious sunshine for the rest of the day, south coast. 😟

Cold and frosty at night though. Minus 1 to minus 3 C! Frost on the ground til 9 or 10 am-ish the next day!

SabreIsMyFave · 04/03/2025 19:58

Just had the 6th or 7th day in a row, of clear, lovely, sunny weather. 9-13 degrees C daytime temperatures throughout. (North Midlands.) Absolutely gorgeous! Long may it last! 😎

Lovely day again.

I actually got washing dried outside today! Loving the sunshine, I can cope with cold , crisp mornings, and when it warms up like the last couple of days, it just tops it off.
I've been spring cleaning with a vengeance.

Garden cleanup this early is a death sentence for overwintering insects and other organisms. I know it's difficult to resist but it's really better to wait.

It's basically sweeping and early pruning of bare shrubs. I'm also cleaning pots in preparation for the seeds I'm growing. I don't clean up properly until the end of March.

I hear you! I am in the midlands and I haven’t seen the sun in weeks! It’s been grey and drizzly and miserable.

I work nights so I need the sun after I finish nights to boost me back into day mode. My last night was yesterday and there was no sun. It’s my day off today and I always try and get outside but today, I’ve done the school run and got back into bed.

the daffs and tulips are all up though so there is hope!

Im in the midlands and have had 5 bright sun days this week, winter sun and blue Skys, followed by frosty nights as no cloud cover

I had something come through on my Facebook feed today to remind people not to cut back any hedging after 1st March until the end of August as this can destroy birds' nests.

Clearing up the garden without the fear of getting frostbite is a bonus. Plus a blackbird pair have begun their nest in a bush that was in need of a good trim!

ETA: Two washing loads on the line is always welcome.

All so lovely.

Wall to wall sunshine here in South Yorkshire, and no rain forecast until 10th March, which is pretty unusual for where I live.

Myblueclematis · 02/03/2025 07:55

Three days in a row of glorious, sunny weather and I now have an empty washing basket. Looks set to continue until Friday at the moment.

Frosty this morning, but I'll take cold, bright and beautiful over wet, grey and miserable any day. 😎

March 1 we are on the way. Nice day today.

The blossom on the trees came out yesterday with the sun . People are happier when the sun shines too .

RampantIvy · 24/02/2025 16:57

We had a some cloud and rain in the middle of the day then it brightened up and is lovely now. I can feel that spring is on the way. (waiting for the summer haters to come on and complain now)

Inkystain · 24/02/2025 15:14

Oooh back to being absolutely gorgeous. Full sun

Fizbosshoes · 24/02/2025 14:34

It pelted with rain yesterday evening , all night and was dull and grey this morning. Got to work in central London and the sun came out late morning. On way home early - look out one side of the train and sky is blue, opposite side, grey cloud, looks like rain imminent!

PassingStranger · 24/02/2025 13:25

Nice and bright today at long last.
Washing out.

RampantIvy · 24/02/2025 10:20

It was lovely here on Saturday. I even got some gardening done. Then yesterday was cold, very windy and rainy. It's OK now, but not forecast to last.

Inkystain · 24/02/2025 10:01

Oh…. It’s just started to drizzle!

Inkystain · 24/02/2025 09:43

It is GLORIOUS here. Beautiful sun and I’ve just taken my coat off because it’s so mild (double digits)

south east forever!
