Cool and breezy after overnight rain

Apart from the heavy rain that passed over before 8am, today was dry, though a glance at the sky throughout the day would have cast some doubts.  The clouds were often dark and broody, though there was still some blue sky and patches of occasional sunshine to be seen in between.  The blustery wind coming at us from the west made sure that the temperatures were held back, and its fair to say we expect better in July.
