Comments on the clue

1.	Solid and compact but not much joy in surface.
2.	Temp standing for temperature makes this explicit as an anagram clue.
3.	Anagram indicator?

Comments on the competition
1.
A pleasing variety of approaches this month and some excellent clues. For originality of approach I've given 5 points to 52, which I think works very nicely. 21 is clever and original and gets 4 points. Of the two 'temp. rising' anagrams, I preferred 41 and gave it 3 points. 45 is a brave, but rather unwieldy, attempt to use the 'printemps' anagram; 2 points. And 1 point to 1, another neat &lit. using 'sap rising'.
