The scattered cumulus cloud of the afternoon have dissapated which left clear skies for an hour or so, before high-level cirrus clouds have aproached signalling the rain due this evening.

The morning started off overcast and wet, but the rain quickly stopped by around 10am and it brightened up a bit. This drier spell turned out to be short lived though, as heavy rain came over once again mid-afternoon along with more overcast skies. This evening has seen much of the same, with heavy rain at times and quite mild temperatures after a warm day in general. At present the wind has just veered from the SE to the SW, coupled with a slight strengthening as the trough approaches.
