In the UK, we're in the middle of a heatwave at the moment, in the last few days it's been far warmer than it ever usually is in April, in fact it felt like mid August at the weekend! How far-spread is this? Are you experiencing strangely warm weather where you are?

I'm in Portugal, Europe and it's getting hot in here. A few days ago it was cold but now is warmer. I guess this Summer will also have high temperatures like 40 to 43ºC like last year.. just too hot!!

It's like that here, it was really cold and miserable last week but then at the weekend it was suddenly like mid-summer! Not sure I could cope with 40 degrees!

I am in Indiana in the United States. We have had nothing but cold days and rain lately since it is spring time. We had a short warm up for a while and then it got cold again. It is now sunny outsdie and the temperature is supposed to go up to 72 degrees today. It is a very beautiful day out. We have experienced alot of cold weather that we normally do not experience around this time of year. It should be in the upper 70's or 80's around this time of year but we are still waiting for that to happen and stay in those temperatures. It has been very weird weather this year. I guess it has alot to with global warming.

It was meant to be cold here by today, but the summer weather is still persisting. If it's an indication of things to come, we're going to have a great summer thanks to global warming!

I am Delhi, India and at present, weather here is very hot and warm. Hotter/Warmer than the usual weather in the month of April in Delhi. The maximum Temperature here is going above 40 degree centigrate, which is 5 degree centigrate above the normal temperature. If you are sitting in air-conditioned atmosphere then it is alright, otherwise it is very difficult to venture outside.

I'm loving the heat at the moment but I think by the time the summer really starts I'll be longing for "cool and relaxing"!

Hehe, rather you than me I think, I like it when it's just warm enough to wear shorts, but not so hot that you can't get anything done!

I'm in San Diego, California. I don't live near the coast, but we are still affected by the weather. Right now, we have completely normal weather for this time of year. Basically, it's cloudy and cool in the morning and evening and warms up in the middle of the day. Where I live, it gets sunny and warmer earlier than on the coast, which can be cloudy all day long. The temperature when I woke up this morning was about 49 degrees F. It will probably warm up to about 65 or 70 degrees. A lot of people complain about the low clouds and cool weather. But, truth is, if we didn't have this kind of weather, we would already be frying like out in the desert. We don't want to do that until at least July or August.

I am in the United States, California to be precise. Right now it's in the mid 60s and getting a bit cloudy. But last week, it was in the 80s, and then raining on the weekend. According to the weather report, the system is 'unsettled', meaning it might or might not rain (or they just don't know! LOL). As much as I love the warmer weather, I hope it rains some more because we haven't gotten nearly enough over the winter to account for much.

That's the drawback with our warmer weather too, as much as everyone in the UK moans about the rain, they'll moan more when there are loads of shortages over the summer!

I live in the Philippines, and it’s summer time right now. Philippines is a tropical county so you should expect that it is really warm here. During summer months (March – May), it’s usually warmer compared to other months.

heat wave - sun picture
I'm from the Philippines (though my profile says Singapore, had to change it to make Paypal available for payment...long story.) and it's scorching here. The air is SOOO hot, I think it's like 37 degrees. The air is just so heavy and humid you feel like you're in a sauna bath or something. I think it's El Niño again, blame it on global warming. I sure hope I don't pass out from the heat these coming days. Thankfully Summer will end in May here and the rainy season will start.

Global warming, it's getting hotter everywhere, over here it's quite nice, but I can imagine in countries where it's hot anyway, it might not be such a good thing!

More odd weather, it's interesting that it's been peculiar all over the place, not just over here
