After a sunny morning, the Cirrus has thickened
sufficiently in the last hour for the sun to cast just
faint shadows. Having lost the strong sunshine,
the wind has dropped by one Beaufort force (the
curtains are no longer billowing through the open
windows) and the temperature has eased back
one and a half degrees from a max of +24.7C.
