Phil,

Highest max temp of the year in Romsey so far was attained today,
a sweltering +28.6C. *Current dewpoint is similar to your 16C with
a dry bulb of 20C.

Travelling over Pepperbox Hill, southeast of Salisbury shortly before
sunset, I could discern some brooding Ac castellanus on the edge of
vision way off to the southeast through the murk, exhibiting a deep
vermilion colour. *Noting earlier middle level clouds to be moving
from SSE to NNW, these turreted clouds may pass close to your
area. *Should there be lightning in this haze, will it display any red
or orange hues, I wonder? *Might be worth a look after dark... ah,
that's from about now.
