Sunny.
Patchy high cloud.
Wind NW F1-2
Visibility 10Km
Temp. 20.8C
DP 14C

Could be the warmest day of the year today?
But ... totally different feel to yesterday, it feels sticky with a marked
reduction in visibility to yesterday. Going to be sweaty doing things
outside today. Still, mustn't complain, it is summer and it is lovely and
dry.

Temp 20.7C
DP 16C (10 degrees higher than yesterday!)
No wind.
Visibility 12Km.

Max. was 22.9C (so not warmest day).
Large Cu built up from mid-morning onwards, now cloudy and very humid/sticky
and looks like a shower over the nearby moor.

Not a day for doing much outside as too sweaty, indeed it is nice to come
indoors where it is a very pleasant and less humid 18.1C.

If I closed my eyes I could imagine I was back in my garden in Crowthorne
(Berkshire), but then maybe not, there is no railway or road noise here!

Sunny and warm, but far from "stunning" today. Humid and enervating
instead, with vastly reduced visibility and increased cloud cover.
Such a change from yesterday, though the temperature is similar.

I've been stuck in a 1970's building all day, where architecture for
the British summer involved having banks of windows, on all 3 floors,
facing South, with no throughput of air and poor, now dilapidated,
blinds and curtains.

Temperature soared away this morning then it went quite cloudy (7/8) around
midday, the air went still and the sky darkened. With the heat & humidity it
looked as if a thunderstorm was developing but in the end it passed over and
the sky cleared in the early evening. Now the sky is cloudless.

The wind (when it blew) was all over the place, swinging from the NW to the
SE (sea breeze direction) and back again all afternoon.

Despite the cloudy afternoon it was still a very warm day with a max of
27.4°C.

(20:00), 22.3°C, RH 57%, DP 13.5°C, 1024.9 hPa (F), Wind 3 mph NW.
