We had dark clouds most of the day but it hasn't rained and I managed to get most of my washing dry. The temps are alot higher overnight here in this part of the NW than in previous weeks. I have a sun flower in flower in the GH, it's a giant yellow but has only grown to about 2ft
Planted out runner/french beans today but kept some in reserve just in case there's a frost.
Teesside, weather rotten yesterday all day, no gardening. Today is better in that it is not wet and warmer. All under control in the kitchen so five minutes with a cuppa. Daughter and Grandchildren back from ten days in Mauritius brown as berries, swam with Dolphins, walked on the sea bed and had a wonderful time, another month of this and I will be moving there.
Slowly getting better in E Dorset - pleasant enough outside yesterday pm, today the sun a little late getting up but he's managed it now! Garden here I come
Central Belgium and 21C and sunny but clouding over. Thunder expected later on so better make the most of this weather for weeding and sowing. More of the same expected tomorrow and Tuesday but I'm off to Chelsea so won't see it.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Still cold here but it did manage to get to 11,1c in the garden and I did manage a glimpse of the sun through the thick clouds but no heat in it at all supposed to be nice on Tuesday for a few hours yeah right where on earth is the summer.
NO sun here today (E Anglia) Just very grey and overcast. Was chilly at times too. Spent the day trying to get a few plants pricked out and back into the greenhouse. Dahlias are in the conservatory so the slugs can't get near em! Bit warmer in there too
We didn't get any sun but it stayed fine and it's been a good day to garden. My dahlias aren't doing very well, only three grew from the tubers I'd saved and they don't look at all healthy, those grown from seed seemed to be doing better until they were potted up into some new compost and slowly I've lost most of them .... there's always next year!. On a positive note, lillies are romping away. Some have bubs so hopefully they'll put on a longer show this year instead of flowering all in the same week.

Agree more like March, only said that to OH when out today.
Manchester started off wet but has dried & brightened up. Only got to about 12C here though. J.

I hardly dare say this out loud, so I'll whisper it instead: it was very sunny here and quite warm. It is supposed to get even better this week.
(Now that's put the mockers on it no doubt
