Sunny morning but an afternoon downpour

A day of two halves today: sunny in the morning with some strong July sunshine and pleasant temperatures, but then in the afternoon the threat of heavy showers, due to the high humidity again today, materialised. Some heavy pulses of rain for a couple of hours during the afternoon spoiled any outdoor plans, but at least it freshened up afterwards to end the day calm and brighter again.
