Rain bustling through

After a frost overnight, temperatures were already on the rise by morning and cloud was building in the west. The wind picked up as a warm front passed through, meaning a lively day with a fairly short spell of rain.  One or two showers blew in during the afternoon, but skies gradually brightened, bringing some sunshine before nightfall.
