Default Awful Easter weather

The weather here this easter is as bads as ones I've known in the UK, and worse than a lot, started to rain before getting up this am, still at it now, yesterday not that much better, although less rain, and Saturday. torrntial rain, but at least the sun did come out. Whose stolen the nice weather I really pity the poor tourist bu***rs who have come out for the Easter holidays. Bet it gets really hot again after they've gone

Its quite nice here on the other side of the pyrenees mountains has been starting off loverly getting to about 25 28 degrees and then late afternoon bit of thunder and a smidge of rain but its a loverly change considering we had a half a foot of snow a 2 weeks ago.

Here in the Northwest has been lovely since Thursday and the temperatures have been climbing from the lousy 6, 7 deg last week. I guess we've stolen your weather.

We really cannot believe that we are living in Spain because the weather is so miserable, wet and chilly at the moment. Always knew that it would not be sunny all of the time but we think that we are having more than our fair share of bad weather lately. Think that the averages will be a bit out this year.

It depends on where you live in the UK. We are having gorgeous weather in the south east.

Yes, indeed, really beautiful. The best I can remember for a long time. I'll be coming over at the end of the month to choose kitchen stuff, tiles etc. I hope it has brightened up by then.

I remember, years ago being taken to see the sorry state of some of the reservoirs, not far from Benalmadena I think. At the time, we were told they were at the lowest level ever recorded. I was wondering if the recent rainfall made much of a difference to them.

weather in sheff has been good for easter ( for a change ) but I thuink us brits are just gratefull for anything above 15 degrees. Everyones out side the pubs but its not that warm ( 18 degrees maybe ) as soon as sun goes in you're freezing cos theres a very chilly wind. Hope weather picks up soon cos I'm out at end of month!!!

We certainly are I'm wearing shorts again and already getting a tan on my legs (thank goodness as I don't want to be glowing milky white when I get over there next month) Hubby is in the garden painting his latest masterpiece and I've been relaxing in the sun. Just popped indoors to cool off
