Milder than yesterday but very grey and overcast with persistent light rain.

[Backtrack]

9.4C, cloudy with no rain yet, and that rain is looking pretty wimpy on the radar, would be surprised if it even wet the ground! Brilliant!

[Jon Somerset]

Change now apparent. Rain has stopped, areas of blue, higher cloud. Sun very strong when it comes out and temperatures have reached 14C. Blustery wind has sprung up.

[BlueHedgehog074]

That's encouraging. Feeling hopeful that clearer weather spreads up to here. Had some rain today and is still raining slightly, but it's not been trying hard enough. The temperature is currently around 8.4*C.

[The PIT]

A much better day than forecast with the rain being confined to a light shower around one-ish

Cool again temps peaking just in dpuble figures this morning before a cloudy afternoon.
