I'm in shock. We actually managed to get a lovely sunny day that hasn't been spoiled by showers or the temp being too low. A real rarity this summer.

Sun total 10.21 hours with no rain though we had another 5.4mm late yesterday night.

Max temp was 18.9C and currently down to 15.5C with the sun now gone.

[Backtrack]

24.5C max after an almost wall-to wall sunshine day!

There has been some cumulus around, but the sun hasn't gone in much all day! Lovely!
