A cool day with a few short-lived, light showers and some sunshine.

A max of only 17.9°C makes this the lowest day max since the 4th (17.3°C).
The overnight low was 11.7°C making it the coldest night since the 14th
(11.2°C) and has ended the run of warm nights.

Just 0.5 mm of rain today bringing August's total to date of 33.5 mm.

Sunshine has been lacking this month, whilst unlikely to be duller than last
year, it is still going to poor one. Sunshine now stands at only 102 hours.

The loss of the humidity is making it feel quite chilly this evening.

The Beautiful Days Festival at Escot is going on as I write and despite it
not being that good weather-wise, it is still hell of an improvement on last
year (quagmire), the year before that (very muddy), and the year before that
(muddy). In fact, this year it seems to be relatively mud free for once.

(19:30), 16.4°C, RH 70%, DP 10.9°C, 1021 hPa (R), Wind 6 mph WSW.

Surprisingly almost dry here today (not so along the north coast).
Only 0.1mm since 09:00 (brief shower around 1300). After a
predominantly cloudy morning, good spells of sunshine this afternoon
pushed the temperature up somewhat to 18.8C, but still the lowest max
since 3rd.

I'm rather hopeful for tomorrow, the decaying occlusion should be well
to the east of me tomorrow afternoon.
