Morning denizens
This morning's cloud looked patchy just before but has somehow metamorphosed into proper grey overcast now
Currently 14°C which seems to have become standard for this time of day, a possible 19° later, and no rain forecast; though that doesn't mean there won't be any, as weather volatility seems to be testing the limits of existing models this summer. Barometers very slightly down at 1009/1017mB

Morning all
Dull, overcast, no current precipitation but signs of wet on the patio tiles/plants inferring there has been some overnight. Currently 17 degrees with a high of 21 expected and, potentially, some sunshine will appear. Barometer down to 1018 mBar.
I slept but am not rested. Awoke before the alarm (I refused to look at the time) and then slept through my alarm
