Not quite what I was expecting this morning..
 

Pretty decent day all day yesterday in the Southampton area, better
than expected in the morning, with mid level (As) cloud, brightness
and occasional sun throughout the day.

After forecasts of sun and showers today, I'd been expecting a bright
start but instead we get low cloud and mist. Doubly surprising given
the clearness of the air late yesterday, as late as 2300BST Sirius
seemed unusually bright low in the southwest. Was planning on an early
start for a walk today to try and get some distance before the showers
start, but on seeing this I think I'll take my chances and start
later!

Really grotty here near Worthing after a sunny start the low stratus and fog
came in rapidly mid morning and that was that, now at 15.00 just low stratus
no breaks and dull.

Just back from a 14 mile stroll on Dartmoor. Ok apart from a soaking shower
late this afternoon. But then the sun came out and dried us. Couldn't be
arsed to put waterproof bottoms on :-) Light was stunning when the sun came
out with rocks and Tors standing out with great clarity - a magic moment one
gets on most longish walks.
