Thick fog to start the day but this cleared temporarily from the high ground from around 0930 until 1230 and it was sunny at times. The fog returned by 1300 and persisted, to one degree or another, for the rest of the day.

A rather cold day but I've no doubt the maximum will occur overnight as the rain moves in from the west.
