Hi

After a rather damp day ( read that as wet, then wetter, got really wet for a while, then stopped at 13:58 as if the tap was shut off) it turned into a rather pleasant, if breezy, evening, temp around 17:00 was 17.4oC with some sunny intervals, now back to boughts of grey skies and drizzle, but out of the breeze it remains quite mild (in comparison to some recent temps), the cottesmore recorded mean for the area is 18oC, think this is optimistic for *this* area as I am seeing 17.1oC, not far out in truth though.

[Jon Somerset]

Grey and with light rain, which turned very heavy mid-morning on the Somerset coast around Burnham. Lunchtime it became drier with very light drizzle appearing a few times. Now much drier and even some patches of sun appearing. Mild all day at about 18C.

[Methuselah]

Cloudy, breezy and drizzly, 17C...
