Yesterday in the greenhouse i got my 2015's hit with 42°c around 16PM.
Today we had a sweet 29°c, some Dianthus in the garden are dessicated and dead by the sun!!
Do i need to fear the summer?

In some areas of my region, calcareous grasslands are dry like in August, orchids are in a 3 weeks advance

Cold and rainy but fortunately no hail. A sunny but cold week has passed and some of the birches have almost leaved out completely.

Some welcome rain here today too and, so the soothsayers say, more to come throughout next week and cooler. My Primulas will be pleased.

I've never seen such a dry April, my primula are also in a sad state, most of my Tulipa in the greenhouse aborted their buds due the Arizona temperature  :-X

Snowing here now!  It's fairly wet so I do not think it will lie long.  The flakes are enormous :o

Crikey! And I thought it was a miserable day in the city!   I'm looking on the sleety rain more kindly now.
