A clear and sunny start to the day - the first time I have seen any clear skies here since May. The sky partly filled with cumulus as the day went on and as usual the evening was the cloudiest part of the day.

I was at least able to sit outside in the garden in the sun for a while though now the top half, nearest the house, is completely shaded during the evening now and won't be long before the bottom half is too.

Max was 19.1C with 9.09 hours of sun. Currently 14.2C.
