A day of contrasts

The warmth of yesterday was trapped in by heavy cloud overnight as a frontal system moved in.  Rain soon developed in the early hours and this continued until lunchtime, when the skies finally brightened and the sun reappeared.  The afternoon was bright with blue skies and plenty of sunshine, still with a fresh breeze, and as the air following the cold front was much cooler, temperatures remained significantly less than yesterday.
