Nope, I'm in France so we'll got typical Normandy weather, cold and drizzly. Gonna write to the Mayor and lodge a complaint next week if this continues!
That's why William came over with his mates, is was a damp bank holiday in Normandy, he looked over the water and thought, mon Dieu Sunshine
I remember back when I was stationed there for five years. I only got to see the British Summer three of those years; The other two years I was deployed elsewhere during thoses three weeks

17? That's about 62f. Still waaaay too cold to be considered Spring, let alone Summer. It's not proper Summer until the temps get at or above 27c (80f) at the very least.
LOL. Joking aside, I do remember the temps (in the Cotwolds at least) getting to at least 85f while I was there.
Bloominhell 80f here Santaman whilst being a miracle would also be called a heatwave and all the tabloids would show girls on a beach splashing in the sea(which would be absoloutley freezing)id be happy with a summer hitting early 70's.
Summer doesn't start until June anyway. Stop moaning. Call yourselves bushcrafters?
Get out there and enjoy it anyway. That's what we buy all this kit for.

Too right. No such thing as bad weather, just bad preparation
Joking aside, I find the more time I spend outdoors, the less I notice the alleged 'terrible summer' that seems to be reported every year.

Especially when I worked outdoors predominantly you got so you didn't notice the weather, you just dressed appropriately and didn't expect to be dry all day - but were comfortable. I like the change in weather, animals and plants react differently and new light lets us see things differently.
LOL. That's why I remember it so well; the locals and news media seemed to think it was hot. It was in Augut though IIRC.
It hit 91f (over 32c) here today and it's not really near what it will be later in the real Summer. It'll regularly be that hot at midnight then and daytime temps will be over 100f (37.8c)

It was 17C here today and that's too bloody hot for me. We went directly from winter to summer, no spring, so no time to become acclimatized.
Santaman, I would take -20C any day of the week over 91F. And yes, I am serious.

Spent all day yesterday with just shorts and crocs on - we nearly ran out of Sun cream and had the bbq lit by 10:30!
10k run in Manchester today so hopefully its not too warm!

A blinder of a day yesterday at forbidden corner in the dales. I was tempted to craft a solar oven to cook our bacon at one point. Nice to see that hot ball in the sky again.
