Last week we had temperatures in the mid 20s and out of the wind it felt very warm, unusually so for April. Now this! At the time of writing we have had over 25mm of rain (the wettest day since November) and since ‘sunrise’ the temperature has barely risen above 12C. There were no days like this during December, the 16th of January was similar to today, and although Febuary had some colder days early in the month at least it was sunny!! To make matters worse, sea temperatures are lower than through the winter. Up in the mountains it has been snowing steadily through the day and there’s a good fresh layer of snow at the resorts. Good news for the ski companies maybe? But no, operations closed down on 15th April and skiiing has ceased!!
