The wind has gone back far enough to drag low dew point air off the
Continent. *When I got home from work at 1700, I was could watch the dew
point sensor steadily counting back from about 4.4C to 3.6C in about an hour
or so. *Now showing 3.2C

Yes, I thought something like that might be happening: at around 1600
there were clear skies visible low in the southeast which (not having
seen the short term forecast) I guessed might have been moving
westwards. It never happened though and was wet by 2300, and this
morning there's the impression that the Atlantic has won - though not,
it would appear, for long. That said blue sky is visible for the first
time since sunset on Monday, and I certainly welcome that!
