Dull and drizzly in the main

Persistent drizzle throughout the morning due to another frontal system passing overhead.  This one stalled though, due to a developing area of high pressure out over the North Sea and northern Europe.  This has gradually killed off the rain but left quite heavy cloud cover throughout the day.
