A damp morning as a result of a string of slight showers
but these have been interspersed with sunny intervals. A
rainbow made an appearance at 1110Z.

On the back of 9 consecutive days when the max temp
has broken through the 10C barrier, a fragrant carmine
pink rose has come into bloom in our back garden. For
the keen gardeners out there, it's a thornless rose called
Zephirine Drouhin.

Frequent slight showers continued well into the afternoon,
punctuated by bright or sunny intervals. Since 1500Z, the
showers have stopped but the wind increased markedly to
force 5 to 6 from a point just north of west. The air temp
has climbed to its present highest value of the day.
