19-05-24 Sunday

Temp 12°C to 24°C - A very nice day, though perhaps everyone doing the Bristol Half marathon would not agree, at least they had a moderate NNE round to E breeze to give the illusion it was a bit cooler. Gusts up to 20mph and barely a cloud in the sky. Blog will be updated later if more records come in.
