Today is the day that Earth is furthest from the Sun, something to remember if you actually see the sun today! Unfortunately, I did not, it was the very darkest of winter days, incessantly grey and pretty much 9C all day.

[Methuselah]

Much fresher now, but still sunny and warm with westerly wind...

sunny with light winds and a low of 11.8C, much lower than for some time

Unbroken sunshine and already feeling warm at 18c after a low of 16.7c (the lowest in ages and the first sub 20c minima since Tuesday).

[Spurry]

Sunny start but cloudy with a few spots of lt rain here, temp currently 20.0c , BBC forecasts a better evening so hopefully we'll get an evening where we can sit out

[TEITS]

Very pleasant here with temps of 22C and plenty of sunshine.

Going to be warmer than the GFS suggests with temps probably peaking at 27C.

[Koppite]

Lovely sunny start to the day, although clouds have started to build in the last hour or so, still feeling pleasantly warm with a current temperature of 22.5C and just a light breeze.

[frostyjoe]

well its sunny and is 20.5c so is feeling absolutely freezing as it would usually be 23c by now in the warm spell

[Methuselah]

It's Betty Swollocks again...Some notableish convection north of the Great Glen...

[magicpatch]

Sunny start, cloud has developed as the morning has developed, now it would be called "Sunny Spells" although its pretty cloudy at present. Measuring 24c in the garden, so still a little bit of heat around here, looks like cooling down a bit more tomorrow then levelling off at the low 20s for the rest of the week.

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

Sunny, fair-weather cumulus, fresher than of recent, though still warm in sun. Perfect summer day so far!

[frostyjoe]

it sure is feeling cold with as temp of 22c and a cell about to explode with rain lol(which will sadly drop the temp more!)

[Northernlights]

Currently 24c and sunny and still humid so not that big a change from yesterday with only a brief burst of rain late last night from the front which was supposed to cool us down. Secured another lovely batch of hay yesterday but the spring barley crops are now really suffering with the heat and prolonged dry weather with large white areas appearing where they are prematurely dying off. No second cuts of silage in this area unless we get some significant rain soon as most grass has stopped growing or is completely brown , the lawnmower will be in the shed for a while!!!!

[M'Lady]

Mostly cloudy with just the tiniest hint of blue sky peeking through odd breaks in the cloud. A few spots of rain every now and again, but still feeling warm.

[Methuselah]

I've just noticed that Kinloss has an RH of 83%. Now, it's around 24C here just now; so it's no wonder it's still so sticky. Roll-on next week! :lol:

[frostyjoe]

well its freezing now and is 18c :lol: but id say itll be up in to tweenties again as the cloud is moving really quickly.

[Methuselah]

Kinloss (not far up the road) has a dew point of 16C...Do we have some residual air up here, or what?? :lol:

[SunnySouthCoast]

A much more pleasant & fresher feeling day today, sunny spells rather than wall to wall sunshine & we had a light rain shower early this morning too...

Last night's minimum: 16.5C (62F)

Current temperature: 21C (70F)

[Methuselah]

Dry and sunny...Guessing fron Dalcross/Kinloss data, it's about 24C... :lol:
