After a sunny morning the cloud built up in the afternoon with spots of rain shortly after midday but not measurable. The maximum temperatures have been slowly falling day by day with 23.4C, 21.1C and 17,4C respectively on Tuesday that was 3.2C below my 40-year average.
The second cold front arrived during the evening. The rain radar shower an unusually very narrow band of heavy rain, well defined, about two miles wide stretching from Bristol to Cambridge. This brought more consistent rain starting at 20.35 and heavy from 20.45 to 21.00, falling at the rate of 20mm per hour very briefly and totalling 1.8mm.
After the cold front moved away the cloud thinned that allowed the temperature to fall away, very low for June, reaching just 4.7C at 05.04 on Wednesday.
There was brightness and then sunshine around 08.00 on Wednesday but the wind from the west or west-northwest will bring the cooler, Arctic air from a pool to the north of Scotland. The depression is now between Iceland and Norway and still dominating our weather.
