Squally shower upon us with a smattering of soft hail
but the wind is more of a feature than the precipitation.
Large area of blue sky rapidly expanding in the west.

Considerably quieter just after the shower had stopped
at 1455Z as the wind fell sharply to 10kt (force 3) and
it felt quite warm in the sunshine. The breeze has risen
again to a borderline force 4/5 but no further showers
can be seen at present. The temperature fell by 4.5C
in the shower and is struggling to recover.

Prolonged showers that began at 1755Z with few dry intervals
turned to sleet at 1905Z as the temperature fell quickly to below
+3C. The shower is now very slight but trailing quite low stratus.
At most, the proportion of snow to rain was about 25% to 75%.
The moon is faintly visible to the ESE and Venus (I think it is) to
the west is clearly seen.
