It was a glorious day here in my part of Surrey too, so much so that I
even went for a country walk. I noticed that the visibility seemed to
be exceptionally good, of the sort that one usually only sees down here
with a Polar Maritime or Arctic airstream.

The Met. Office (and others) have certainly retracted from the
forecast they gave earlier in the week. The sunny weather for most
regions apart from N.W. Scotland were supposed to enjoy from mid-week
never materialised here in N.Lancs. I always thought that the high was
the wrong ' shape', and that cloud and occasional drizzle would come
in here on the long westerly fetch. Only one or two glimpses of
sunshine all week. 54mm of rain so far this month, of which 50mm fell
in the first eight days, but a rather dismal month.
