We're going to Haven in Prestatyn Presthaven for the Easter weekend, looking forward to the break and the sun. Kids love it playing in the sand dunes.

Nice, there is a regular bus route that serves Presthaven Sands[Arriva 11G/11M], every 30 minutes in the day, but 2 hourly evening & Sundays

That is what happens when you have been awake since 5, it is Presthaven Sands we are going to 

[So… Howard Philips]

Spent the last couple of days working hard in the garden, digging, planting etc. Getting warmer and more enjoyable.

One side effect of the heat is I've got a touch of sunburn. However my wife and daughter said my nose looked like a strawberry and to ake matters worse went on the say it made me look like Alex Ferguson.

Factor 50 from now onwards.

  The bus route used to be an open topper that ran from about Easter until October, but that got withdrawn a few years ago, & partly replaced by a conventional service.

The temperature was lovely today but looking forward to it heating up further on Friday and Saturday

Laid up with a chest infection for the last 3 days. Just my friggin luck.

Looks like you’ve got our weather! Been pissing down in Spain last two days, flooded everywhere.

Portugal was similar. It's not very often I get off a plane here and feel overdressed.

Few mates went to Portugal[Alvar on the Algarve] on the annual golfing & pissup holiday a couple of weeks ago, & it was rain, hail ecc, the only thing missing was snow, they only had sun for the last couple of days of there holiday, whilst it was lovely & sunny here from the Grand National day onwards.

With parents who live in the Algarve - and yours truly living in the UK - thats, erm somewhat of an elaborration on the truth

Another glorious morning

In Portugal it was nice on the first day last week. Put my shorts on in Lisbon on the train and took them off by the time I got to Porto as it was early evening. 5 days in Portugal and wore my shorts for about 5 hours.

 

[Groundskeeper Willie]

Absolutely amazing Easter weather here. 18-22 degrees Celsius. Last year there was 20 cm of snow.

[John C]

Fucking hell it's grim here, Storm Hannah has drenched us. So lucky to have had a glorious Easter last weekend.

[Zlen]

Most miserable spring I've endured in Ireland so far. March was pathetic with barely three non-miserable days and April has so far been even worse with only the Easter weekend being a brief, three day respite from the gray, cold, windy and desperate weather. Can't wait to go somewhere sunny and rest my bones.

[Statto Red]

Where's the weather gone from last weekend, such a contrast to this weekend, last weekend was glorious, it was freezing & wet yesterday, i attended a funeral, got caught in the rain around 1pm & got completely soaked

[kesey]

Horrible out there. I keep on expecting it go dark about 5pm as it feels like November .

[Statto Red]

This week is set to be glorious, next few days above 20C, it's great now opening the curtains before 5.30am

[Danny Boys Dad]

Wasn't expecting the sun to be as strong as it was yesterday, have burnt myself quite badly, bit of a tomato now.

[Indomitable_Carp]

Yeah it was lovely yesterday. Great walk over to Anfield. Earned myself a nice burn as well. Still haven't got used to having to worry about my scalp now I've got a balding 'ed!

Left for work at half 5 Saturday morning, it was cold but beautiful.

Contrast the weather to this time last year when it was 25C & baking, it's raining & 10C less

Utter shite isn't it. Dreading that we are going to get a crap summer this year.

Landed back from Orlando this morning, it was 36c when we took off, I'm wearing a hoodie now cos I'm freezing.

[I've been a good boy]

We had our Summer in February unfortunately.

[Statto Red]

I see it's been snowing in Australia, & as far north as Queensland.

I know it's winter in Australia that's below the tropics, but isn't the Australian winter similar to Florida?

[kesey]

Horrible this.

Just cycled into town and a feel like a fuckin squid.

Just cycled into town and a feel like a fuckin squid.

Persistent high pressure blocking over Greenland is driving low pressure on s more southerly track. Had similar issues in that run of crap summers 2007-2013.

Hopefully it will dissipate as we move further into summer, but there's a theory about lower summer sea ice volumes over the Arctic reducing the thermal gradient between tropical and Arctic, weakening the Jet Stream (causing it to meander rather than surge west-east to the north of us), in turn allowing high pressure to build further north than it otherwise could.

[MichaelA]

It's fucking scandalous.

[rob1966]

Depressing as fuck this weather, more like winter

[gazzalfc]

Had to put the heating on today.

[kesey]

Deffo.

All gortexed up in June.

Wasn't it the start of the heatwave this time last year ?

[kesey]

I feel its about to go dark in about an hour.

Started early May. Me and the family were at New Brighton last May Day and it was beautiful. A few mad/dead 'ard kids were in the sea (and a couple of lads jumping in the marina lake - deffo mad). Had a couple of spells in the subsequent May & June where it was less nice, but overall it was great. Until the kids broke up from school, then it went downhill and far less settled.

To be honest, I'd be happy with a shit June, if it meant a brill July & August. Not had a great August from years.

I thought April-July would be a brilliant time to go to the southern hemisphere. Got back to Liverpool in July on what was apparently the first day of rain for six weeks. This year will be my first full summer in the UK for about three years and it's shit. Typical.

It's a pisser in general when you go abroad on your jollies, and back home has a heatwave while you're away.

Yeah holidays are much more enjoyable when you know it's grim over here. Feels like a real getaway

Been going to Tenerife every January since 2008, it is fantastic taking off in snow and landing to sun and clear blue skies - return journey not so good like.

[Snail]

Went to work this morning dressed for summer, by 4pm it's apocalyptic. Ffs.
