(Rosie) Don't expect any short term communication. The BoM forecast for our Penrith. As a rule of thumb knock off 2ºC for Chateau Duj. Image here
As I type it's just after 1430hrs and 38.0ºC outside in the shade.

(Duj) It's about 38°F (3°C) here. The scene is brightened by a couple of inches of snow on the ground and brilliant low sunshine.

[Rosie] Hottest? Only once or twice ISTR.

(Rosie) For you, sir. Here. It is only January - from Christmas on to the new year it was much the same.
Where is everyone? This is not the weather channel.

[Dujon] I’m in Lithuania for a few days. A concert of Armenian music on folk instruments last night, now seeing the sights of Vilnius before coming home Sunday.

Another warm, still, sunny day - up to 16°C in the grounds of Plas Huws and it's still only February. Knowing that March and early April can be utterly foul I'm not looking forward to the end of this spell.

I believe I am having a touch of hay fever. In February! 13°C here, bright sunshine, and promising so for the next few days.
