  The sun finally came out for a long time yesterday. I don't think the sunshine was as continuous as the weather forecast predicted, but it was still extremely welcome and very enjoyable. The afternoon temperature reached 14° C, but clear skies meant the temperature dropped to just 8 ° C by midnight.   The sun is shining as I write this, and the sky looks mostly blue. The (mostly) blue sky suggests the sunshine should last longer than the forecast suggests. I suppose some clouds might appear that changes sunshine to just sunny spells as shown in the forecast. The forecast says even those will disappear at midday to leave a dull, but still dry day. The afternoon should reach 13° C, but by 10pm the temperature may fall to a chilly 7° C. Tomorrow could start at just 6° C, but the sun will get stronger, until full sunshine in the afternoon may take the temperature up to 15° C,

  Yesterday morning was another damp day, but I think there was less rain than the forecast predicted. I am sure that some hours were dry. The ends of the day were both 9° C, but the afternoon did reach 12 ° C.   This morning the sun is already shining, and while we might get an odd hour of just sunny spells, it is looking like most of the day will feature full bright sunshine. It should take the afternoon temperature up to 14° C (and possibly higher). The ends of the day are shown to be 8° C, but at the moment I see 9° C on my thermometers. Tomorrow may be cloudy, but still be dry. All temperatures are currently predicted to be about 1° C less than all today's temperatures.

  Yesterday morning, and the start of the afternoon were wet, but the rain was fairly light, and sometimes just light drizzle. the last few hours before sunset were quite bright with some sunshine. The afternoon temperature was only a rather cool 9° C, and from 9pm the temperature dropped to just 6° C until it started to rise a bit during the night.   This morning it is damp outside, but as I write this it does not seem to be raining, and the temperature has risen to about 11° C, 2° C higher than forecast.The threat of rain is shown as quite high for all of this morning. At midday it is shown as 97%, but drops to 0% by 7pm. Whether it rains or not is something that will become apparent when it does, but it seems certain that all of today will be dull and grey. The only possible good thing is that the afternoon will be 12° C. In sunshine that would be fine for shorts and no coat, but under a sullen grey sky it will feel cold. Tomorrow could start a bit chilly at just 8° C because the sky will be clear, and it will stay clear all day to give some wonderful sunshine. Tomorrow afternoon should peak at a nice 14° C.
