Wet and blustery

Some overnight rain, but a drier spell for rush hour meant I didn't get wet on the way to work.  By mid-morning though another band of rain moved in, which was slow to clear.  It did though, eventually, so the evening was drier but quite cold.  It was chilly all day in a blustery northwesterly wind.
