After a short burst of warm weather at the beginning of April, the temperature has now fallen back to a daily average of around 16/17°C (60/63°F), accompanied by a mixture of sunshine and showers. Despite these lower temperatures the vines are still evolving quite vigorously, and the grey/brown winter landscape of the vineyards is slowly being transformed into the first pale shades of summer green. Over the last few days thunder has been forecast on several different websites, although until now, nothing has transpired – rain yes, but no thunder and lightning. The forecasters however, are sticking doggedly to their predictions of stormy weather, albeit as we wake up today the sun is still shining defiantly! Let’s see who’s right over the next few days….After a short burst of warm weather at the beginning of April, the temperature has now fallen back to a daily average of around 16/17°C (60/63°F), accompanied by a mixture of sunshine and showers.
