Forget weather forecasts - Brightonians and Hovites have their own ways of telling when summer's on its way to our fair city.
1. Disco Pete is spotted out and about (pictured above and in the video below)
2. Queues form outside Marroccos in Hove
3. Rubbish mounts up on the beach
4. Cars queue to get to the seafront - and then find somewhere to park . . .
5. The plastic covers usually perched on top of clothes rails in the streets in North Laine for fear of rain showers are packed away
6. Sunbathers stripping right down to swimmers/bikinis laying out in the sun down by the beachhuts right at the end of the Undercliff Walk at Saltdean
(This picture was actually taken in February, brrr!)
7. The start of the seagull dive-bombing season
8. The smoke trail plane starts leaving hearts in the sky over Brighton beach
