Today dawned surprisingly clear and sunny and, although Cirrus moved in quickly, it was still hazily sunny and bright until 09.00.

Since then thicker cloud has gradually developed and moved up from the S/SE and it currently looks very threatening although

the radar is clear, 15.0c with humidity 66%.

[Methuselah]

Aye, it's much darker here now, breezy too, 14C...

Worst day of the week so far, mostly bright with some sunny spells this morning and early afternoon, steady rain late this afternoon and early this evening, which has now cleared, at a guess around 5mm of rain in a few hours. Car Temps fell from 16c at 4pm to 10.5c at 6pm after the rain had set in.

Local Weather stations 16c max also. Down to 11c at 6pm.
