Ermm not quite sure what's going on but I can't see any clouds... well at least from this angle anyway!

A sunny start for first time in ages. Down to 6.1c overnight currently 8.2c.

Suspect this sun won't last...

A very interesting switch in the weather happened between 08.00-09.00 as the LOW continued to pull away, we went from a cold brisk NE with low cloud to a calmer WNW that cleared the air, allowed warm sunshine and then saw TCu build by 10.00!

Currently sunny spells, TCU and Cumlus, 11.5c with 74% humidity.

[Kent Snow]

8.5C, overcast, grey, dull, wind from the NW, 996hPa.

[Summer Sun]

A lovely day today no rain at all and now its sunny and warm currently the warmest part of the day at 14.9°C

[Stargazer]

A complete contrast with yesterday, and our first dry day (so far) since last Monday. Dry and pleasant with sunny intervals, the occasional thick cloud not quite thick enough to produce rain. Maximum 14.2, minimum 6.2. Wind light W.

[Aaron]

A pleasnt evening, mostly clear skies at the moment and 11.6C, and it did reach 12.1C about 25 minutes ago

[Bottesford]

Clear skies this morning and this evening - wow what a change!

No rain either and we managed a sizzling (!) 13.6c.

Much nicer day than of late and more useful for getting outside in.

[Summer Sun]

Temperature max out at 15.2°C today with plenty of sunshine this afternoon / early evening, currently 10.9°C

[Terminal Moraine]

A mainly cloudy morning with Cu developing just enough to squeeze out a few spots of showery rain before midday. The cloud tended to break up, with the Cu became smaller during the afternoon, allowing sunny intervals to develop.
