The low cloud rolled in about an hour or so here, and with it came much cooler air from the Irish Sea, which is 11C atm.

So whilst the rest of the country are enjoying a lovely blue skied 20C evening, we're stuck under low cloud, and it actually feels cool outside at 14.7C, quite an unreal temperature drop since around 5pm, when the temperature fell from 22C to 19C in the space of an hour.

Cannot wait until the wind changes to an Easterly direction, then maybe the West can enjoy some real heat.

Clear, muggy and 18C...
