Heavy rain but brighter later

A heavy and persistent band of rain arrived in the small hours and lasted until late morning, depositing what became a record amount of rain since we started recording last November.  By lunchtime the rain had cleared but the sky still seemed unsure and it was well into the afternoon before there was a real improvement.  But by teatime, there was blue sky and plenty of sunshine around, though it was too late to make a real difference to temperatures, which were well down.
