Dry start with broken low cloud and warmth leading on to a few hours of summer sun and warmth. Roughly 24c at best. Amazing how different it is to the west of the front! High cloud now moving in from the south with a breeze introducing the impending low coming up from France. It was nice while it lasted - now hopeful for some thunder.
