How's the weather?

[BillF]

Dull and overcast.

But that could be the volcanic ash the Icelanders are sending us in lieu of the money they owe us!

Glorious evening out here tonight. And no annoying low flying aircraft !

Yes, but no aircraft bringing discs from the U.S!

My Mosaics squeezed in a day before this all hit. Otherwise I might have had several boxes of ash !

[jostber]

Nice and sunny before the volcano cloud from Iceland gets here. Low temperature, about 11C. Will be colder again tomorrow.

Lovely spring morning here on the English Channel coast. The breeze is still a little fresh but nothing like the last few days. No evidence of volcanic ash but apparently it's there.

[brownie]

Clouds of volcanic ash go away!!!

It's beautiful in Paris today. Nothing but blue skies for the time being!

Yes - Some incredible skies. I plan on checking out a panoramic high SW UK vantage point this afternoon to savour the plane-less skies. Enjoy it while it lasts !

And tonight would be a good one to burn a Wicker Man funeral pyre..

Rained last night (more water in the basement, ugh) and foggy today.

[Tom 1960]

50 degrees and dreary. At least it's not raining right now. Hoping for sunny skies tomorrow for my bike ride.

[sidewinder]

Unbelievable clear views this afternoon - some of the best visual conditions I've ever encountered here (from around 1000ft asl). There was actually a glider tug aircraft in the air servicing a load of gliders. Must have got special permission !

Still clear and sunny here today. Another perfect April in Paris day!

Weather-related news on the music scene:

Bobby McFerrin concert scheduled today at the Theatre du Chatelet this afternoon has been cancelled now. (I had no plans to attend!)

Whitney Houston had to take a ferry from UK to Ireland to give a series of concerts this weekend.

Icelandic volcano at it's height of popularity

A superb spring afternoon, little or no breeze, clear skies and warm sun. A dusting of ash on the car roof.

[A Lark Ascending]

Yesterday was beautiful; today started well but it's getting increasingly overcast and cooler.

[Matthew]

Absolutely gorgeous in SoCal. Here's a crappy picture taken from my backyard.

[jostber]

A lot of wind and hail here a period today. Nice again now with some clouds and partly sunny before the dusk sets in.

It's pissing down in Fort Worth. This is NOT what I expected of Texas. It's more like home.

I said that to the waitress in the restaurant last night and she responded, "well, that's good!"

[A Lark Ascending]

You doing a De Tocqueville, MG?

[Tom 1960]

Got the bike ride in today, under less than ideal conditions. Barely 50 degrees and pretty much overcast skies. Feels cold after the recent warm spell we had.

[kinuta]

Horrible, cold, raining and depressing. Spring has been cancelled this year and,to make it worse, the dreaded rainy season will start in another month.

[paul secor]

A series of 5 straight days with no rain & temps in the low 60s - 70.

[Tim McG]

Unseasonably cool and rainy here.

I LOVE it

[Tom 1960]

101 friggin degrees.

[BillF]

101 friggin degrees.

Wow! Only 48 here at 7:45am.

[alankin]

Hot. Humid.

[Van Basten II]

Today isn't so bad , but we had an heatwave the last few days , over 93 degres and about 104 with the humidity factor which is quite high here for this time of the year
