Thanks mate, cant beat a good old French downpour with a bit of thunder chucked in. Usually gets them feeding at this place as well.

Those downpours will be fun 
If they've spawned sounds like perfect weather, good luck mate 
Let us know how you get on with the Quest.

A problem for those wanting to catch, if you enjoy smelling the roses along the way not too shabby Ÿ˜€Ÿ‘Œ
If they haven't spawned or finished I reckon they almost certainly will as it's 25 deg for near a week, 28 here on Sunday, hotter down sarf.

It's definitely +18c in the margins of the lake I originally mentioned, and that's in 6ft of water.
Some much much bigger lakes locally, are now closed too.

Some of the open water swimming places around are getting up to 16 degrees so will be warmer in shallow water... Quite often different year groups of carp will spawn together too, so that can lead to several different spawning times.
It's also down to the length of the light per day (photoperiod) and we have had lots of nice sunny days lately

They started yesterday on my local pits but I cannot believe the water temps are 18c.
Is there a chance that the eager males get a bit gay and start going for it? Or that they get involved with the bream having a go?
Or does nature find a way and carp will spawn when the temp is lower than 18c and we don't know it?

Definitely starting here and across the country if social media posts about spawning restrictions are any indication!

One of my club lakes has just closed for spawning, came on here to see if anyone else was mentioning it
