Quiet Bank Holiday. Pissed down with rain all morning - was forced to venture out to buy fags. In the afternoon the sun came out - about all that happened.

Drove through a really heavy shower on the M11 - sheets of water; I thought I was going to drown.

Pissing down with rain this morning, so walked around the block with my umbrella, came back before nine a.m.. Did A-level revision.

Odd weather though: at half-past two a hazy sun appeared, and by eleven p.m. it was well clear. Nice.

Went for a drive, stopped in Epping Forest. Very peaceful - sunset, green leaves.

Beautiful cool showery sunny May afternoon.

Fine, cool breeze, cloudless till about 3pm.

Not quite so hot today.

Very hot.

Very hot, hazy today.

Hot, humid night followed by hot, grey, humid day. Reports of thunderstorms, tornadoes and ball lightning elsewhere.

'Thunderstorms on the 8th' [...]

Too hot if anything.

Driving on the A12, it was pissing down with rain but off to the south the landscape was green and sunny through the grey rain. It was so strange I drove down there to be in it.
