Similar day to yesterday

Yesterday's description was almost a perfect match to today's weather too.  A slightly keener wind, certainly a wind today rather than a breeze, kept the feel of the air on the cool side.  Despite this, in the sunshine, it felt quite pleasant, but the numerous cumulus mediocris clouds (fluffy white clouds with dark, flat bottoms) meant the sun was never out for long, and any warmth created by the sun quickly disappeared.  After tea, the wind died down swiftly, skies cleared, and despite the thermometer registering cooler, it actually felt more pleasant.  By late evening there were signs of a front approaching though, suggesting rain before dawn tomorrow.
