[www.keralites.net] Sunny Days In Britain

 



Spring has (finally) sprung! Britain enjoys first sunny May weekend... but it's not going to last






Sun-starved Britons were out in force today to make most of the fine weather before it disappears. After weeks of chilly temperatures, wind and rain, many people were out early to bask in temperatures of up to 18C (64F).

In Bournemouth, Dorset, traffic queued back three miles on the A31 towards the resort and many seafront car parks were full by lunchtime.

On the beach, crowds bathed around the pier area while the seven mile promenade was busy with people in T-shirts and shorts out on a stroll. Beach attendants were busy hiring out the resort's 3,500 deckchairs while beach hut owners flung open their doors.
