I hate to say it...but what we really need is some rain. The grass is starting to go brown in places like it does late August!
We have a Japenese Acer out front that usually abhors too much water, but I had to give it a drink this weekend as it was starting to look sorry for itself. Here in Shropshire there's been no meaningful rain for 3+ weeks!
I've just been bringing in the tomato / rocket / lettuce plants as it really does feel as if there'll be a fking frost tonight! In the last week of April FFS!
And whilst I'm bhing about the weather, I'm still waiting for an Autumn storm
The good news is that the cool weather moves away in time for the bank holiday weekend.
The bad news is it's a bank holiday weekend, so low pressure arrives in time for Monday - you couldn't make it up.
Most of UK will see a fine, but not warm, Sat/Sun, although NW extremities could see wind and rain.
Monday will see periods of rain for most.

Got quite sunburnt on Sunday putting a deck down in the back garden. Not the first time this year either (well, sunburn, I don't put decks down that frequently).
Sunny today too while tidying up the rest of the garden which frankly looked a bit like the Somme after the works.
I think Puggits warm blast may already be here...
Bring it on. WooHoo!

Where? Its been bloody freezing east of London.
I've had enough and am going to spain next week
Anywhere East coast has been cold this week thanks to the wind off the North Sea - western areas have been delightful. I've had enough and am going to spain next week
Berkshire, where I live in the middle, has moved from warm to cold to warm day by day
There is certainly a huge divide in the weather lately, it's still cold in Yorks,Lincs and Lancs. I was spectating at Cadwell on Saturday in a T-shirt, thick jumper, coat, woolly hat and was still cold, O/H had the seat heaters on all the way home afterwards to warm up and i've still got the heating on in the house.
Some rivers and watering holes in North Yorks/Cumbria have run completely dry through lack of rain recently and throughout Winter, I walked round one of the reservoirs up there and it was about a metre down from its maximum.
I think i'm going to be out watering the garden soon as it looks really dry.
