Sunny and warmer

It may have actually only been a degree or so better today, but plenty of sunshine throughout the day meant it felt much warmer than recently.  A achitypical English summer's day; skies peppered with small cumulus clouds providing little relief from strong July sunshine.

Soggy morning but brighter later

A very cool day, a dominant wind in the north or north-west all day meant temperatures were really pegged back, feeling more like early March rather than July.  There was plenty of heavy drizzle around for most of the morning, but during the afternoon the sun came out between the clouds and by late afternoon this is when the highest temperatures were recorded.

Cloudy with rain throughout the afternoon

A cloudy morning and much cooler.  Rain started spotting by lunchtime, and set in for much of the afternoon even if it wasn't particularly heavy.  Further heavier rain set in for a time during the later evening.  Cool - a big contrast to last week!

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.

Slowly brightening after overnight rain

The rain forecast after tea yesterday arrived during the night, nothing too substantial but enough to keep the weeds growing.  Saturday morning was overcast with one or two dark clouds about, but the rain held off and gradually by early afternoon there were some decent spells of sunshine.  Feeling cool when the cloud thickened enough to cover the sun for a short while, but when the sun was out it again felt very warm - temperatures down a tad on yesterday, and with a slightly stronger breeze there was temptation to be out in it without suncream, but anyone who did would would know about it later!
