Lot's of cloud and rain in the morning and plenty of wind to blow my beans over. Warmed up a great deal in the afternoon with plenty of sun but the clouds rolled in again with a large amount of high cloud mixed with some blue and lots of showers. We currently seem to be right on the edge of the cloud layers with bluer skies to the south-east but lots of dark stuff to the west. A very interesting skyscape with plenty of different cloud types to observe - mild at about 17C.
