Climate Change, UK Climate Change

The British weather never ceases to amaze me - 91F yesterday and today we have reversed to 19c!

Its a fascinating place to be a gardener and the unpredictability of our UK climate is certainly good preparation for climate change.

Weather for gardeners is THE vital subject when deciding what to do and what to plant. Our changing climate will make weather watching even more important in the future.

What’s the weather today and in the future?
