Still breezy, the odd shower too which was debatable this morning on the weather, got a bit wet coming back for lunch.

Sunny again now, lots of cloud about being blown by the wind. Currently 14.5c .. was 16c before the shower, although I think my temperature sensor seems to move around a bit too much for my liking at times around lunchtime.

Incredible howling wind for mid May, very gusty indeed, overcast now with it starting to rain should turn heavy soon.

This could be turning out to be on average the windiest May nothing extreme, but just very few calm days.
