I wonder what this weather and the  changes from one day  to the next  as  it has been lately  from warm almost sunny days back to sub zero freezing winter days instead of a normal gradualy warming up period , what affect  will it have on the breeding pattern on local lizard populations whos breeding cycles must be getting confused as to hibernate or stay awake with these suddern drastic tempeture changes of recent?. because it certainly is affecting me.    keith

I think biggish ranges in temperatures can be expected at this time of year and have been happening for many years. I don't think there is a gradual warming up period, it fluctuates from day to day.

I was on Branscombe beach in Devon on Tuesday and it was hot. People were lying out in swimming costumes. Yesterday you would have needed gloves on probably.

Hi Suzi I do agree in the past we did have the weather fluctuate such as  having sleety snow then the sun was out with steam rising this could happen within half hour, but now days from the extreme warm weather the cold spells go on much longer regards      keith

Hi All

One factor I think you should remember is length of day(light). This must let them know that it is spring......But they don't have to rush about. If it's to cold, they just conserve energy. And wait.
