In among all the Bertha fun (or lack of it) I thought I'd mention that
our pleasant summer weather continues. Today's figures so far (since
midnight) at Locks Heath:

Current air temperatu 20.6 C
Max: 21.1 C at 14:17 BST (33rd consecutive day over 21 deg C)
Min: 15.2 C at 01:13 BST
Rain: 8.2 mm so far (less than the previous night/morning)

Max wind gust: 21 mph so far, from the west (at 3m, walled garden)
Min pressu 993 hPa, now 1001 hPa, rising quickly.

Weather: occasional heavy showers, sunny intervals becoming sunny
periods. Breezy.

All in all, not a bad day considering the forecast. Patio doors wide
open as usual this summer.
