Your current weather.

Better this afternoon
 
A minimum of minus 0.6ºC last night. The first dip below zero since 9 Feb 2015. Beats the regular minus 5 & 6s we regularly got in the mid 00s.

I will check today's max tomorrow mrning, but 2016 will not be the warmest year on record for us (2003 to date) it will be about 0.3º less than the top of 2015 which came in at a mean of 16.67.

Been an interesting day, rained a bit and froze, 4 cars in various states of hedge jumping on the way to the farm. Including one in our hedge. Yard was like a skating ring all day

Just had a newsletter from Foundation for Arable Research in NZ, although it's summer there with crops heading, they've had a week of frosts in some areas and are expecting poor grain set.

Lovely day - a bit cloudy and had rained lightly first thing, but had that early spring feeling - the air full of little birds; blue tits and finches and a haze of buds on the trees. Hard to remember that Spring really isn't here yet and that it will probably snow before too long...
