Sorry for the late report but been on holiday in the above area for a
few days. Mostly uneventful weather (and sunny today) but there was
quite a notable thunderstorm early on Sunday afternoon (about 1400,
IIRC). It appeared to move in from the SE (though wasn't certain) and
was preceded by a darkening sky, though an hour or so previous there
had been no sign whatsoever with a fairly harmless looking sky of
medium level cloud. and produced 10-15 minutes of torrential rain
(heaviest I've ever seen in Scotland) with a few near crashes of
thunder (only once every 2 minutes or so though). This then turned
into moderate rain before stopping around 1900 or so. One or two heavy
showers later on.

Since then, Monday was a dry, bright and often sunny day though high
cloud moved in from the sw later. Tuesday had a wet morning, though
the rain was never that heavy, and Wednesday was a brightish and windy
day. Back down here in the south meanwhile we seem to be in the grip
of a "bad" northeasterly (see other post) though it's surprisingly not
cold - rather humid in fact.
