[chrcoluk]

1am when I looked outside was a light wind (very rare here to have 'any' wind)

this wind made the air very plesant and wasnt really hot like the past few weeks

up above I seen broken up clouds moving east as well O_o usually its north not east so seems for once we getting atlantic air here and feels so much cooler and plesant.

its dry tho

 

someone in derby reported downpours all night, amazing how derby and leics get such different amounts of rain to each other.

 

looking outside just now I Cant tell the wind direction anymore as all clouds are gone is blue sky.  there is still some wind but it seems barely a breeze now, defenitly lighter than was at 1am.

[Jon Somerset]

Plenty of very heavy showers around today with less sun than yesterday. Some showers torrential for two or three minutes. Cool - rather wonderful cloudscapes at times. Sun warm when it came through but too short to heat the day up.

 

Missing summer already
