Cooler after a weak front

A weak weather front, the remnants of something that brought substantial rain to Scotland over the past couple of days, meant cloud built by early morning. The front's energy had long gone though, so all we saw was a few spots of drizzle. By afternoon the cloud thinned and we saw a little sunshine, and hopefully this fair weather will stay with us now until after the weekend.
