Default [WR] Cold and wet Devon

A sunny start today but showers soon got going with hail. Dramatic skies and
excellent visibility.

Max temperature only managed 9.8°C (after an overnight low of 4.7°C), which
is the first sub 10°C day since the 19th April.

No grass frost as yet but that could end tonight as the temperature is
falling away smartly. Shame as the garden flowers and hanging baskets look
better now than they did in August. Methinks they're going to cop it
tonight.

One consolation, this month is now sunnier than August, sunshine total now
stands at 123 hours.

(18:40), 4.5°C, RH 85%, DP 2.1°C, 1013 hPa (R), Wind calm.
