Soggy morning but brighter later

A very cool day, a dominant wind in the north or north-west all day meant temperatures were really pegged back, feeling more like early March rather than July.  There was plenty of heavy drizzle around for most of the morning, but during the afternoon the sun came out between the clouds and by late afternoon this is when the highest temperatures were recorded.
