Fog dispersed quickly this morning to leave a sunny and rather hazy day.
Day max +9.7C (still 3.0 degrees above normal though)

Just got back from a walk on Dartmoor. Parked near Kestor and spent the day
walking around on the moor. Beautiful day, hazy to the south but most of the
high cloud appeared to be contrails that seemed to account for half the sky
cover. These masked the sun a little, taking a bit of strength out of it but
it still felt warm as there was no wind. Another T-shirt job and after
yesterday's sunshine, my face is well and truly suntanned now!
I find the pollution of the sky by aircraft depressing. Pristine blue skies
seem a thing of the past as the sky is now always criss-crossed by
contrails, sometimes 100's of them and they spread out turning the sky milky
in parts.
Oddly, today in the Otter Valley was warmer than yesterday with a max of
14.3C and 8.8 hours of sunshine.
Currently (20:30), 4.0C, RH 75%, DP 0.4C, 1031.8 hPa (S), Wind 2 mph ENE.
