Grey start but really brightened up later, with some excellent rain falling through sunshine about 3.30pm.

Grey and cool today with rain later. Felt the end-of-summer feeling I had yesterday, and this time last year, again. It's not quite melancholy but more a form of contraction - drawing in, to face the winter.

Interesting programme on Radio 4 claiming the Lynmouth flood in 1952 was caused by experimental cloud seeding.

Cooler and bright again.

Bright and cooler again; out of the sun, almost chilly. Saw rowan berries out. Autumn sort of clearing its throat in the wings at the moment.

Bright and cooler, with fair-weather clouds.

Dull grey morning.

Just before 2pm it got extremely dark - street lights came on. Three good lightning flashes (one nice fork) and some hours of heavy rain. Not bad. Never seen a storm make it so dark before.

Wonderful day today - another hot, mellow, hazy one.

Marvellous, understated post-sunset sky, dark lavender with darker flat cirrostratus shaded onto it, like something from a Jack Vance novel. Felt as if God were saying 'I can show you many more like these, if you stick with me.'

Lovely mellow, hazy late summer day.

Misjudged the weather in the morning and got soaked on the way to church.

Climactic discussion with G. Memorable image: looking out of the window at the misty, rainy grey August dusk and seeing it as healing rain, which it seems to've been.

Good weather, hot but breezy with fair-weather cumuli and a high cloud base.

Good thunderstorm about 12.30 am - so the altocumulus castellanus yesterday didn't come to nothing after all.

Pretty hot and sunny again today with heavy rain about 6.30pm.

Absolutely gorgeous weather - really hot, very few clouds, quite humid though, ~ 70%. Some altocumulus castellanus in the afternoon, but came to nothing. Turns out C is very interested in clouds.

Grey start but turning into a mellow, sunny day and beautiful clear evening with Arcturus prominent in the West. Autumn on its way.

Rained heavily all morning and up till about 1pm.

Lovely weather.

Lots of thundery rain.

Driving to my appointment in the afternoon, followed an excellent cumulo-nimbus with anvil top and virgae all the way. Beyond it there was a superb bank of towering cumulus, distant but very detailed, sharp structure.

Beautiful weather to start with, but damp and gloomy later, with heavy rain about 4pm.

Cooler and greyer in the morning. Violent thunderstorm 1645-1730. Lots of stones washed out of the hotel car park and into the road again.

Turned out nice after overnight rain.

Nice weather in the morning, coolish with blue sky/white clouds. Rained in the afternoon and evening.

Started cool, hazy and grey, but I had a feeling it'd warm up, and it did. Found excellent website with different cloud type photos.

Cooler today with rain in the afternoon and heavy rain in the evening. Makes a change.

Very suitable weather for the date - gorgeous, with only tiny clouds most of the day.
