Is it summer yet?
Fired my bike up after work today, and i wasn't greeted with the usual 3 blanks spaces where the temperature reading should be, instead it read 21*... does that mean its summer?

Feels weird being this warm but with very few of the trees in leaf yet.

Re: Is it summer yet?
It's nice being being able to start the bike without choke!
I'd call this spring though. Can still get a bit chilly when you get going, despite the sunshine! |

No, you are all wrong. I took the thermal bits out of my jacket and trousers on Friday, it's officially summer!!

The * means frost though so it's not quite summer yet

Re: Is it summer yet?
no it isn't, in UK summer is the season made up of June, July and August
 Its based on an average temperature across a number of months, not just a couple of hot days. |
