Have you had any of that pleasant sunshine in dry old London town,
Dave? The sunshine in Devon has been terrific again, but it is still
cool in the wind.

west London was about 6/8 octares after midday which varied throughout the
afternoon but I was in Slough for most of that and as is often the case very
different just west of Heathrow - the cloud broke up there more. I have an
inclination to think it has something to do with the flight paths. The
Denham Colnbrook Slough triangle can often be brighter when east of this is
dull and cloudy you can easily see the effect all times of the year as you
drive out on the A40/M40 When I got back to west London about 4pm it was
pretty cloudy again with only brief intervals despite the forecast of cloud
breaking up soon to form the oncoming clear evening.. Anyway tomorrow is
expected to be less cloudy and they forecast 19C, up 2 on today. I think we
lost the nagging cold wind tomorrow as indeed most of the south will have
lost it too.

You may get some rain in London on Bank holiday Monday, Dave, but, at
present, I'd judge that the influence of the high pressure to the
North will keep much of that rain to the South of the UK. It may well
stay dry in most areas over the bank holiday weekend, with only areas
South of the M4 being affected by cloud and rain, but I have a sneaky
suspicion that even these areas will stay largely dry over the 3 days.
Clear a path to the front of the shed, would be my advice, but don't
shift the barbie to the front just yet, if you live South of the M4.
Anywhere North of the M4 should have a dry and sunny Bank Holiday
weekend. Like I said yesterday, I don't see the Bank holiday as a
washout for all of us in the South. The situation is similar to last
weekend, but not the same. I would avoid crossing the channel, however
and spending the holiday weekend in Northern France, if you are
looking for sun!
