Muggy start to a sunny and hot day

A muggy night, but overcast by early morning.  The cloud gradually thinned and by lunchtime the sun was out.  Fair weather cloud bubbled up from time to time but there were long periods of clear blue sky, allowing temperatures to reach their highest in 2015.  Staying warm, even into the evening: by 8pm the temperature was still 27.6°C and only gradually tailing off.  Looks like an uncomfortable night to come...

A pleasant summer's day

A dry and pleasant day - quite a bit of cloud in the morning but gradually the sun came out and temperatures climbed.  Plenty of hazy sunshine in the afternoon, some cloud but nothing too unpleasant, and the fine weather continued for the rest of the day.  A warm evening and the promise of another fine day tomorrow.

Rain but then brighter later

A mixed bag today: cloudy all morning but little sign of any substantial rain like it was forecast.  Rain did arrive by dinner-time, though not much, just some isolated little showers, a couple of them quite heavy.  Then in the afternoon the cloud lifted fairly quickly and before long there was plenty of blue sky and sunshine.  There was always still some cloud about, but nevertheless a pleasant end to the day.

Dry and fine with some sun

Another dry day, with plenty of cloud but some spells of sunshine, which seemed to develop more widely during the afternoon.  Still a little chilly but the weather has improved from earlier in the month and all in all there's little in the weather today to complain about too much.

Fine, bright and warm

More cloud today, but overall it's not been a bad day: dry (apart from the odd spot or two at tea-time), some good spells of sunshine, particularly in the morning and lunchtime and light winds.  Definitely more cloud by tea and into the evening, but still no real signs of rain and a decent end to the day.

At last! It's a summer's day!

The cloud has gone! For the first time in a while the sun is out, the birds are singing and it's a lovely day. Some clouds mid-morning to mid-afternoon, but these cleared later to leave clear skies by tea-time and throughout the evening. Dry, warm with light winds, more of the same, please!

British summer?

Occasional drizzle first thing this morning, but the sky looked brighter than it had throughout yesterday, with patches of blue sky. Although the cloud never filled the sky in completely throughout the day, the clouds were ganging up and they looked mean and moody throughout.  So we were back with more of the showery, cool, breezy weather we're becoming accustomed to.  Summer it ain't, but a British summer, maybe?

An indoor Father's Day barbecue

Apart from a little rain in the morning, then the odd spot early afternoon and again late in the evening, today was dry.  It wasn't barbecue weather though - still cold (for June), really quite blustery, dark, angry-looking clouds and only fleeting glimpses of the sun.  It didn't stop us having a barbecue though (it was Fathers Day after all), but the eating happened indoors!

Today was also the longest day of the year (does that mean it's all downhill from now on?), and the astronomical first day of summer, so maybe there's time over the next three months for some better weather after all.

Will it get any worse?

After yesterday's telling off, the weather did at least try to warm up a bit, but the penalty we had to pay was drizzle, that lasted most of the morning and into the afternoon, scuppering my plans to mow the grass.  Still breezy, this current run of west to north-westerly winds shows no sign of changing. and very little in the way of sunshine, even after the rain stopped.

Cold and cloudy

If it was January then we wouldn't be saying it was cold.  But it's June, and a high of 12°C is really quite pathetic.  We've had some generally cool weather now, excepting the odd short spell, for several weeks now and it's about time the weather got its act together.  Hopefully that telling off will do the trick, folks.  In the meantime, today's been another dull, overcast, cold and breezy day, the only saving grace being that it's been dry.

Cool, breezy and cloudy

Not really summer-esque: cloudy, with only isolated glimpses of the sun, cool and a brisk north-westerly breeze throughout the day.  At least we were spared much in terms of rain - but this really isn't what we'd call summer (and it's the longest day on Sunday!).

Milky sunshine, but still warm

The sun was again shining today but not quite as strong; a muggy feel to the air watered down the sun's rays, but it also helped keep the heat in, so temperatures rose nicely into the low twenties.  Light winds again and another day without rain can't be bad.

Plenty of sun and very warm

Really it seemed quite cloudy today for the most part, but there must have been plenty of gaps as the sun was shining through for most of the day.  We didn't see the high temperatures of last week but the strong sun made it feel very pleasant and very warm.
