Sunny start but rain later

A sunny morning starting the day on a cheery note.  The bright skies lasted until late morning, but cloud gradually gathered in the southwest and slowly thickened, eventually bringing rain, which became fairly heavy during the afternoon.  The rain continued more patchily throughout the evening.  A little warmer but the edge taken off the temperatures in a cool breeze.

Rain clearing, then sunshine for a time

Rain clearing, then sunshine for a time sums it up really.  It wasn't the greatest rush hour journey this morning, with rain on and off throughout the journey to work.  But by mid-morning the clouds lifted and we saw some good spells of sunshine and warmer temperatures than we've seen for a while.  The clouds were never all that far away and gradually they won the competition with the sun, but we did end the day without further rain.

Trying its best...

Again the forecasted weather didn't quite happen today - a low pressure system was moving northeast over Ireland into Scotland, taking a large area of rain with it, and it was expected that we would perhaps catch the back edge for a short time before it moved away and sunshine took over.  In the event, whilst we didn't see much in the way of rain, it remained annoyingly cloudy with some hazy sunshine at times.  Still not especially warm, but the odd glimpse of a watery sun did add a couple of degrees to the thermometer.

Rain peters out but slow to improve

Rain again during the night, which was still lingering around by morning.  Although it gradually petered out, the sunshine forecasted never really arrived until much later this afternoon - in between it remained cloudy and overcast, quite cool and breezy.

Signs of a better day

Signs of a better day to come today, the cloud cover overnight is slowly lifting, and with lighter winds it should feel a lot more pleasant than recently.  In the event, cloud persisted meaning little sunshine, but it did stay dry if rather cool.
