Muggy sunshine and breezy, before another thunderstorm

A sunny start, feeling close with some wisps of cloud always obscuring the brightest blues in the sky. Warming nicely, but always an unusually strong breeze, providing the clearest indication that this was not your ordinary summer's day.  The weather held until early afternoon, when the sky turned steel grey from the south and west, and by 3pm the heavy rain hit, accompanied for a time by thunder and lightning.

The band of weather passed through leaving a cooler, very damp atmosphere behind, and slowly clearing skies.
