A max of 20.1°C in my back garden, though I wasn't there for most of the
day! By some distance the nicest day of September, and until the slight
autumnal chill began to make itself felt in the early evening it would
certainly have passed muster as a pleasant summer's day with warm
sunshine and light winds. More of this over the next few days would be
more than welcome!
