More of the same - cool and all but dry

More of the same really, slightly on the cool side for late August, dry all day except for a couple of light showers in the evening.  The rain was due to cloud thickening from the south as a front lying over southern England crept gradually northwards.  Plenty of sunshine during the daytime though as our relatively dry spell continued.
