Yet another totally overcast day. Temperature fell to 4C under clear skies last night. Currently 11C and feeling very cool for the time of year...

[Jon Somerset]

Disappointing day in regards to recent forecasts - matt dark grey clouds with signs of rain instead of the sun we were told we'd get yesterday. I note met office have the clouds moving south-westwards into my area. Tomorrow still forecast as warm and sunny but after two days of last minute rewrites from warm and snny to cool and grey I'm not holding my breath. Only about 16/17 C at present.

Similar here to a lesser extent, it was forecast sunny start with sunny intervals in the afternoon, and they were correct wiht sunny start, but the cloud mass edged in here around 11am from the east, and while there have been some sunny spells, still large amounts of clouds at times. Temps around low 20c, and decently warm in the sun, not bad, but not as good as forecast.

much as I found it between Little Longstone-Wardlow-Foolow, although at times it was only about 4-5/8 shallow Cu during the middle part of the day with a lovely breeze much of the time.

here after a dull start with further rain, giving a total of just over 20mm, the sun was out when I got back with only 2/8 shallow Cu, now clouding back over, a max of 23.8C
