Wirral weather for next 10 days

stuck in work til Thursday...and I bet the weather is crap over Easter.

I heard summit the other day about thunder storms next week

Lol, isnt this the most pointless news report ever (I mean the Telegraph btw Suzi, not the wiki post lol).

I'm looking at it and thinking... are they going to do a report every time the temperature is a bit higher lol; the years warm weather is only just beginning, of course there is going to be a warmest day of the year already lol. And hellooooooo, but since both S.Africa and Australia are in the Southern Hemisphere, id expect with them entering their winter, they are cooler than us in the Northern Hemisphere, who are entering our summer!

I know Matt makes me chuckle how they can even sensationalise the weather Wanted something to stick up before the Wirral 10-day forecast

Does that mean if tomorrow's warmer, then that will be the hottest day of the year? NEWS FLASH!

yep

well what ever the temp is today or tomorrow...enjoy it in case this is summer

we were in london monday and tuesday, was great my phone showed 26c in trafalgar square about 2:00 in the afternoon.

Seem to remember getting sun burnt in early October in London a couple of years ago!
