17.9C, There was thick fog earlier, which is now just mist. Almost an autumnal feel with the smell of September/early October.
An unusual start to the day.

I'm currently down in Hawick in the Scottish Borders having travelled down there yesterday.

I'm currently sitting outside in my Mum's garden and there are some occasional sunny intervals at times.

As has been the case far too often during this year (and not just during this summer), there's far too much pesky cloud around once again and it's a bit breezy though not too windy.

Currently around 18°C here in Hawick.

Not as good  day as forecast with dull start then 2 or 3 hours better but sudden shower just before 5pm just as I finished baling a field of hay but I might have started next one if it had stayed dry.

Down here in Hawick, it's been mostly overcast all day with just the odd occasional sunny interval and a maximum temperature of no higher than around 19°C.

Another warm and sunny day today, but at least there was a bit of a breeze. The dewpoint was firmly in the "muggy" category for most of the day.

Currently partly cloudy, 22.9, dew 16.0, the high being a relatively late 24.8.

There's been just 1mm of rain over the last 9 days, and I see that tonight's rain keeps getting downgraded on the GFS... the raw MetO has none at all.

(28C upstairs, with the windows open all day, so a/c needed again this evening.)

Today was the sunniest day but could only manage a pitiful 7.3 hours sun before the demoralising grey grot slammed in once more right on cue at 5pm to leave another dismal evening. 

Not only would this be the lowest ever total for the sunniest day of July but it would be lower than for any month between April and August. Can only find two other months were no day managed 50% of the possible sun and they were the two months with the lowest recorded monthly sun totals: December 1903 with 7 hours and January 1996 with 10 hours.

The grimness of 21st Century summers is truly unparallelled within modern history.

Dull and clammy with low cloud and a mod SW breeze making the current 17 C & low 90% H feel cool and fresh. Yesterday was similar with the skies but did manage a peak of 22 C which felt fairly muggy.

I've been out and about for much of the time but haven't even seen any hints of brightness, let alone any actual sunshine and there has even been the odd spot of rain along with a cool wind.🤢

A decent day today. A cloudy morning (=ideal for gardening, I filled up half the garden waste bin with various weeds, trimmings and brambles), then the first proper dollop of rain in 10 days. And to cap it off, there shouldn't be any difficulty getting to sleep tonight.

It's currently 18.6, dew 17.4 (i.e. muggy), with a high of 21.6. Last night's low was a warm 15.4 and there's been 2.6mm of rain today.

Unfortunately for me, this one day interlude is as good as it gets!
