This mornings early cloud melted away suddenly and we now have clear blue sky. No wind which is very rare for here. The temperature is rising rapidly and is already up to 19 C. We'll beat yesterday's 20 C for sure

Sadly though, it's now clouded over yet again after that sunny period which probably made it feel even hotter than it actually is.
Given that we've only just passed the summer solstice a few days ago, I was hoping that this much better spell of weather might bring about our sunniest day of the year as that would have been something which probably would never be likely to be beaten throughout the rest of the year due to the fact that daylight length is now starting to decrease once again. Sadly though, that's not likely to happen today.
In addition to that, a breeze has also picked up once again after the wind had completely died away altogether during last night.
