Nicer than expected I think - light shower to start the day but sunny afterwards with only a heavy breeze stopping temperatures going higher, but a pleasant enough 20C. Beautifully clear air allowing fine views.

[TonyH]

Stayed dry after the morning showers, decent sunny spells p.m. very cool though, max 15.8c. An estimated 5 hours sun today.

Drove to North Wales this evening, just 8c during a heavy shower through Snowdonia at 2100, chance of wintriness on the peaks tonight?
