A mostly sunny morning despite a brief soaking between
1058Z and 1108Z with a good supply of little hailstones
thrown in.

Objects less than 3000m to the north practically vanished,
though I could see through the thick shafts of rain and hail
to blue sky and sun drenched hills beyond, such were the
miniature dimensions of the shower.

Fence tops are steaming as the drying process gets under-
way in the sunshine.
