Good morning and welcome to April. It was around one week ago the clocks moved forward into British Summer Time, yet it currently feels like anything but. This time last week we had blue sunny skies with temperatures hitting 18°C and it felt like summer. One week on and it feels like we’ve jumped back to January! As I sit here writing this in my office I have both a space heater and a desk heater running and still feel like I could be in Antarctica. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the weather is going to let up any time soon as a quick check of the forecast reveals more low temperatures and more rain and possibly even more snow next week. Where will it end!?

The photo to the right shows what people across Teesside woke up to this morning. This is from the UK Weather Watchers group on Facebook, posted by Aaron Anderson in Stockton-on-Tees. I woke up to a similar sight myself just up the road in Billingham, and found myself having to scrape my ice off my car before setting off for work. This is of course your standard moan about the British weather post, so what I will say is if there’s any readers in Florida, California, Australia or some other hot part of the world. Count yourself lucky. The price of everything is on the increase, we’re at the possibility of World War 3 (unlikely to happen I know) and the weather is still cold.
