Newlands

Brightened up a little here, and now can definitely smell the burning. Almost total cloud cover still, but the red sun occasionally puts in an appearance.

13:40 Walked the dog earlier this morning - I’m on the eastern tip of the Isle of Wight. Very hazy and humid, with a weak yellow sun showing occasionally, and a light breeze. Now the sky has darkened considerably -it’s like an orange twilight. Very quiet - the sort of eerie silence that often precedes a thunderstorm. Still no rain but you can almost wring out the air it’s so humid.
