Rather colder, some rain, quite dark grey sky.

Very rainy day.

Christmas Eve. Odd coming out of work in full daylight at 12.20pm. Back via Thorley Cross - winter countryside looking very odd in sunlight rather than the darkness I'm used to.

Damp, foggy weather.

Cold and clear again.

Cold and clear. Magnificent skyscape visible from top of building at lunchtime - line of dark clouds stretching off into the West for miles.

On the way home saw the (perfectly) Full Moon rising out of horizon cloud. Soon the fields were all lit with moonlight. Not something I get to see at all often, spending as I do so much time in street-lit areas.

Sky cleared in the afternoon, after promising flat 'scallop' clouds with gaps were visible at lunchtime. Wonderful Full Moon rose about 4.30pm.

Very dark, wet day.

Not really cold, but grey and damp. Made mince pies - very cosy thing to be doing on a dark December Saturday.

Comparatively warm today, with some heavy rain mid-morning. Very dark and gloomy.

Weather a bit warmer.

Colder again, with real biting East wind.

Colder still - stronger wind. And dry - 36% relative humidity in the office in the morning.

Clear and very cold, with a dry East wind.

Again a very dark day - and cold with it.

Kind of 'snow to come' weather, featureless grey sky, cold and dark - getting dark at 2pm when I was coming back from town.

Rainy and grey most of the day, but by 5pm it was cold and clear with bright stars.

Weather very cold and dry, very appropriate December weather. I love December, with Christmas and the chance of snow.

Very dark and wintry coming home at 2.30. Extended rain all the rest of the afternoon and evening.

Mostly cold and clear in the morning, with a cold-front shower.

Clearer today. Stroll in wintry sun at lunchtime. Wonderful sighting of Full Moon, large and golden on the horizon at 5pm.

Foggy - with blue sky above at times during the day, and very foggy in the evening. Driving back from class, it was too dangerous to go faster than 30 mph.

Very grey and dim weather.

Rather colder today - fog in the evening, but a clear starry sky with waxing gibbous Moon.

Another pleasant day pottering about. Particularly nice to wake up at 6 am and hear heavy rain, and know I didn't have to go out.

Cold and clear in the morning and evening. Big New Moon visible close to the horizon at 5pm.

Rained solidly till about 5pm. Walk up to the House with umbrella at lunchtime, saw the ducks and moorhens contentedly digging in the sodden ground.

Wonderful dark pink flush through the clouds at sunset - also sight of huge red watery sun just setting as the hem of the clouds rolled up in the West.

Rained all day. Very dark and wintry. Ideal weather for staying in and sorting stuff out.

Grey start. Wonderful dark rainy afternoon - lights on at 2.30!

Cold and clear.

Very strong SW wind rendering driving any faster than 50 mph very dangerous. But I'd completely forgotten to put the clocks back, so I arrived an hour early anyway.

Heavy rain on and off today. Windy in the evening.

Beautiful cold clear morning. Trees particularly fine in autumnal colours.

More the cold and clear today.

Wet in the morning, and later, very grey, but blue sky appeared in the afternoon to cheer me up.

More rain, more Buffython.

Came on to rain in the afternoon, so continued the Buffython.

Cold and clear.

Not quite so rainy and dark, still pretty unpleasant though in the morning. Brief, valuable sun-gleam about 3pm.

Very rainy and dark.

Another very dark, rainy day.

Dark, rainy morning and afternoon, changing to clear cold starry evening.

Grey weather again.

Beautiful weather in the morning, so set off light-heartedly on my spiritual walk as planned. Coming over the hill, saw the town spread flat below me and a broad ocean of sky with high-piled cumuli cruising across it. I could see why they say the 'wide world'.

Later, was overcome by feeling of gratitude to be alive, cooking tea and watching high clouds, illuminated from below the horizon by the set sun, drift up from the west.

Cool, clear autumn day.

Such a damp, dismal morning that I didn't want to sit around in the morning, and went to work 10 minutes early. Weather improved a lot in the day to blue sky and fair-weather, flattish cumulus, so had another lunchtime stroll round the lake.

Felt pretty bad in the morning - weather dull, dark and damp, warmer than it looked and it made me feel like I had one of my old painless 'distant' hangovers.

Beautiful weather again, so about 10.50 set out for a walk. Found a path into the country park from that housing estate, and was suddenly surrounded by quiet and green-ness. Ascending the hill, looked back and could see my house, my computer room window in fact. I was standing in the view that I see when I check the weather from that window each morning.

At the top was quite overcome by the warmth from the low sun, the breeze, the panorama and the cumulus cells drifting by. Sat on the dry grass for a good 20 minutes just taking it in. I must get in that park again. It was such a change to get somewhere quiet. And it was only 10 minutes' walk away the whole time.

Beautiful cool, bright weather. At the end of the afternoon, the westering sun shining full on the tree outside my window filled my room with a cool, greenish light. The sky behind the tree was quite dark, so the green component wasn't drowned out. The kind of beauty that noise can't spoil.

Weather rather nice - bright sun, blue sky. Sort of wish now that I'd gone out for a walk. Wonderful bright full moon in the evening.

Rather cold today.

Quite a cosy atmos in the afternoon - dark clouds giving the weather an autumnal feel.

Unpleasant white-skied day.

Lovely warm, sunny weather all day. I've never appreciated September like this before - why can't we have weather like this in August, instead of it being so hot you can hardly go out?

Weather kinda the reverse of yesterday - cool and misty in the morning, warm and sunny the rest of the day. Combination of blue sky, white clouds and warm, fresh wind somehow very exciting at lunchtime, and also walking home in the afternoon.

Another lovely cool sunny day, in the morning anyway.

Beautiful cool, sunny day.

Rained for six hours, 8am-2pm, very dark, cold and windy. Autumnal indeed. Spent lunchtime reading in front of a huge library window looking onto the rainswept lake. Rather nice afterwards.

Weather miserable again in the morning. Improved later, so did my mood.

Weather miserable, so had a Saturday in, typing up my notes. It had cleared to a fine evening with fair-weather clouds by the time I went out at 6.30pm.

Grey and windy with rain in the morning. Clouds parted in the afternoon.

Weather the same.

Yet another cool, bright day.

Sun just right between warm and hot, breeze, blue sky, white clouds. This September weather is really suiting me - the beauty of summer without the heat being so excessive that you can't walk about.

Another cool bright day, and windy too. 'The good bit of Autumn' ambience. Was in high spirits as I tend to be when it's blowy. A thousand visual echoes of September 1988 under the trees on the way down to work.

Cool and bright again.

Last day of Summer - bright with cooling breeze. Where has this summer gone? Since I started enjoying summer, it's been over in a flash. When I used to hate it, it went on for years.

Rather autumnal weather, grey but cosy indoors.

Wonderful yellow full moon shining through very thin high cloud.

Much nicer weather today. Bright and sunny but with a cool breeze. Kind of Septembral angle to the light in the afternoon I thought. Summer just doesn't last now that I like it. When I hated it it used to last for years.

Change in weather: dull, damp and grey today, but still unpleasantly hot.

Took a long time to get to sleep, kept waking up due to the heat.

Thundery showers at lunchtime and in the afternoon.

Very hot. In the afternoon cold drinks, fan and relaxing music with curtains closed. Felt like the end of Drugstore Cowboy.

Not a cloud in the sky all day till now - 11 pm. Very hot too, and still very hot now, in fact.

Even hotter today.

Beautiful weather - really beautiful, like you imagine August. If anything too hot.

At lunchtime rather nice time looking at the sky - white/grey 'street' cumuli, with blue sky behind. At about 35° elevation the blue faded so that the clouds and sky were the same colour as the picture of an 18th-century woman on the lid of that tin Mum keeps pins in. You know, like one of those plaster reliefs.

Lovely clear, cool evening, with very thin New Moon.

Pouring with rain in the morning, didn't stop till lunchtime.

Pouring with rain in the morning, didn't stop till lunchtime.

Great thunderstorm at lunchtime. I was up in the library and had grandstand view. Wonderful to be inside and have rain pouring down the outside of the window.

Great thunderstorm at lunchtime. I was up in the library and had grandstand view. Wonderful to be inside and have rain pouring down the outside of the window.

Raining in the morning ('but what is rain to a man of greatness? I shall go out!') but went into town anyway.

Quite dark coming out of the meeting at 8pm - first time I've noticed it this side of the solstice. Better make the most of August, as I remember how I didn't want summer 2001 to end when it did.

Impressive thunderstorm started about 9pm and still going on now at 11pm. About time we had some thunder.

Weather rather pleasant today - cooler, sunny with fair-weather cumuli.

Much cooler today, fortunately. Raining lightly in the morning.

Gloomy, humid morning, but cooler. In the afternoon the weather cleared, sunny but not quite so insanely hot as yesterday.

Again very hot, but cloudier than yesterday.

Excellent thunderstorm at 4 am. Very hot day. Quite ridiculous at work. Internet radio very calming though.

Walked home at a gentler pace than normal. Cold tea. I'm all for good weather but this is ridiculous.

Gorgeous weather. Very hot all night: had windows open. Unusual.

Had cold lunch. There were some impressive cumulo-nimbus, one with very good anvil head, but no thunder so far. That wonderful sort of orangey-red hazy far-off appearance in the biggest clouds, and them much more 'intricate' than fair-weather Cu, i.e. with far more turbulence.

Very hot today, strolled through park in idyllic weather.

Striking sunset with aurora-like upwards illumination of dark, flat clouds in west above sun.

Cloudy start, clearing throughout the day to a beautiful evening, with a vast clear sky like an inverted pool of water, birds circling high in it and a huge sun resting on the horizon at 9pm.

Rather more cloud today, with some exciting vertical development and a thunderstorm passing nearby.

Wonderful weather. Hot, with fair-weather cumuli. While out shopping drove slowly between Monkspath and Ferry Farthingale taking in the sunlit countryside and feeling grateful.

Home and chilled out generally. I love it when I open windows on all four sides of the house and fill the place with sunlight and breeze.

Towards the end of the night had a great dream about allowing myself to be blown by the wind up into the sky - a white sky filled with sunlit rain.

Rather cloudier start than previous days, but pretty nice in the afternoon and evening.

Beautiful day again. Had sunburn from yesterday, so stayed inside with doors and windows open for a cool, bright house.

Beautiful weather again. Very hot. Dispensed with jacket for Quaker meeting. In the afternoon lay and looked up into the sky, being strongly reminded of July 1981 for some reason.

Lovely weather with big white cumuli.

Weather turned dark but sort of cosily dull in the afternoon.

While I was fixing the curtain pole something happened that seemed to justify not going to Hengrave this year. When I remember being there I always think of one warm afternoon with really heavy rain falling onto the garden, and me watching it from the open window. Just the same thing happened today! Surely a message.

Sunny with two heavy showers, one at 1pm and one at 3pm. Sheltered from the second outside the Co-op. It's amazing how less threatening a place becomes if you just stand there for 10 minutes.

Felt rather better today despite miserable weather in the morning: grey with constant drizzle. Rain stopped about 2pm; strolled up the hill for a walk round town. Home to evening sunlight, and less humid atmosphere.

Weather grey and dull in the afternoon - I felt kind of low and 'wintry'. But it's raining rather determinedly now, kind of washing away the low mood.

Another grey, miserable day. Drizzling in the morning.

Miserable weather (dark, damp and rainy) and miserable identity card news to go with it. I hate David Blunkett so much. I know that he is lying when he talks about 'entitlement' and 'helping people', and I know he knows he's lying.

Rotten headache all day. Grey weather didn't help - fortunately the sun came out in the afternoon and headache was gone after tea.

Beautiful start again, but clouded right over later.

Hot and clear again - staying so all day.

Another hot, cloudless morning.

Beautiful, cloudless morning.

Hot and humid today with some heavy thundery showers, but lovely and sunny in the evening.

Very hot today.

Rain in the morning. In the evening, came out of meeting to see top quarter of Sun sinking, under a low roof of cloud whose ridges were illumined red, under the orange flood of light from the horizon.

Weather still rather dull, but better than yesterday.

Miserable weather in the morning: damp, foggy, grey, dim. Had that 'underwater' feeling I get sometimes.

Horrible warm, damp day with heavy drizzle.

Another lovely day's weather, particularly early in the morning about 9 am. Didn't go to church: watched England v Sweden.

Perfect weather for the date. Hot, bright, cloudless, with breeze. Walked back from town the long way through the park to appreciate the day better.

Very nice just being at home and having the windows open and looking through the bright air to the clear horizons. At sunset a few feathery clouds to lend colour.

After early rain, a gorgeous day with sun, blue sky and huge white cumuli.

Lucky I took the car today, because it turned cold in the afternoon with fine, drenching rain and wind.

More heavy showers.

Another interesting day's weather - showers.

Weather rather nice. Showers and big white cumuli.

More heavy showers.

Showery again. Good thing I took my umbrella because there was a real shower at 5pm.

Sunshine & showers.

Grey start, but seemed to be clearing about 0930, and indeed turned into a beautiful day.

Another warm start, but cooling off and getting windy.

Absolutely beautiful weather, hot and bright. New Moon visible in the morning. Rather unusual I thought.

Beautiful warm weather, almost summery.

Dull, damp morning and afternoon.

One of those quiet, grey sky/green leaves days.

Another grey start, clearing to beautiful weather. Golden afternoon.

Dismal dark start, but completely cleared to a lovely day by lunchtime.

In the evening quite struck by smell of may blossom from the railway cutting. There are advantages to this location after all.

Journey back under a lovely clear sunset sky with wisps of purple cloud.

Another day of heavy, slow-moving showers. Just like yesterday the main event was a windless, heavy downpour, with hail and thunder, around 1430.

Really appreciated the May evening sunshine. I love May, it's a month when I feel things are starting rather than finishing. And it's got my birthday in it.

Much more rain and heavy showers today, and cold and miserable with it.

More heavy showers.

More interesting weather - heavy showers, wind, dark grey clouds and bright green leaves. In the afternoon, the setting sun sank underthe roof of stratus moving eastwards, filling the world with yellow light - particularly impressive because it was reflecting off the underside of the cloud as well as being visible directly.

Day of interesting weather - prolonged heavy rain in the morning, heavy showers in the afternoon.

Even more beautiful weather, quite hot. Went to see M. - lovely day for a drive, bright and sunny with a little haze, trees all fresh green.

Another lovely spring day. Getting on for hot. Got the windows open for that indoor-outdoor feeeling.

Quite warm today. Got all the doors and windows open when I got home. With windows on all four sides that's almost as good as being outside when it's sunny.

Beautiful weather with a breeze, perhaps a little chilly.

Huge dark clouds rolled up at 5pm and I got soaked in freezing rain.

Walked home in warm, cloudy spring night.

Walking home up Border Road, again quite overcome with the beauty of the trees and grass and slanting, warm sunlight. I keep thinking, why has God been so good to me? As if I don't deserve it.

Fine, cool day again. Strolled through the park on my way to church, looked at the trees, now bursting into green.

Another cool, fine day.

Rather cold today with north-east wind, heavy grey clouds in the afternoon and occasional rain.

Another fine cool day, but with a dull start.

Fine, chilly morning.

Another fine, clear day with strong, cold wind.

Yet another fine, hazy day, with a bit more wind - a cool, sea-smelling Easterly breeze.

Another fine, hazy day.

Fine, hazy day.

Beautiful hazy, clear-sky weather with gentle sunshine.

Beautiful weather - wished I'd taken my hat into town, it was so hot. Great visibility too.

Beautiful clear sky/ground haze day, colder than it looked, but Spring bursting out all over.

Beautiful bright weather - fantastically clear in the morning. Turned cold though.

Very springlike today, with that sweetness in the air that was there yesterday.

Bright again with a cold edge to the wind.

Bright but unexpectedly cold. But Spring-like softer blue sky.

Walking home, found air warm and mild, and sky (where visible) blue in a proper springtime way.

Windy and rainy today.

Stroll through park before lunch, weather quite warm.

Very grey, damp day with heavy rain at lunchtime.

Still very cold. Walked to work - unfortunately by home-time it was raining hard and I got freezing cold and soaked on the way back.

Raining in the morning, and very cold.

Pleasant windy weather - bright at first, clouding over.

Beautiful sunny spring day.

Misty morning with sun above the mist, breaking through by 1130.

Beautiful weather in the morning, blue and sunny though 'hard-edged'.

Weather very cold.

Great showery weather. About 1.50pm noticed clouds darkening - looked out of window to North to see sunlit black clouds with veils of snow driving beneath. Swiftly all went dark and house was engulfed in snow, rain and hail, with flashes of lightning. Everything covered in white, but brilliant sunshine returned by 2pm.

Very cold still, impressive showery weather with cold-front gusts, or perhaps post-cold-front-showery gusts. Windy anyway.

Very cold and grey today, yellow-grey sky in the afternoon, very wintry.

Exciting cold-front weather earlier. Very windy now, always nice weather to be inside during.

Rather cold today, and cloudy in the morning.

High pressure and dry air.

Again, very cold but very bright and sunny.

Grey, but plenty of light. Sort of typical late winter day. Not so wintry this year of course, with daffodils in bud already.

Rainy morning and evening.

Grey cumuli on way home. Another sign of spring returning.

Rain, clearing later with a marvellous 'chaotic' sunset.

Woke up to curious yellowish light, caused by cloud sheet spreading from West and not quite reaching Eastern horizon, so brightly lit underneath by early sun. Rain later as you'd expect.

Clear start, clouded over later to become cold and windy.

Started clear but got cold, windy and wet later.

Miserable weather again, rain in the afternoon.

Very windy today.

Very clear in the morning, clouded over later, with a clear point in the afternoon where stratocumulus came up from the West in a sheet, behind the altostratus already present.

Unseasonably warm again.

Weather quite warm but very windy. Wonderful full moon tonight. With the dry air and wind, there was a lovely spacious feeling on the streets.

Miserable weather, grey with rain later.

When I came out of the shops about noon it was windy and raining hard - glad to get home and listen to The Now Show.

Rainy & windy night.

Bright, sunny day - not too cold either. Big improvement.

On the way home that smell of vegetation in the air. At least 2 weeks early - the daffodil shoots are up outside the window at work already too. Yet another year of unseasonable warmth.

Weather good and windy today.

Bright and cold again.

Bright cold weather in the morning, much improved.

All day working with visitors. What a relief when they went! Walked home in refreshing rain.

Turned cold and bright again.

Weather warmer, with heavy rain.

Dismal foggy morning, wet & grey the rest of the day.

Weather left me rather subdued; sort of low feeling I get occasionally.

Weather better today. Sitting in the library in the morning, saw the Sun finally come out.

Gloomy and dark again, but at least not raining.

Gloomy, dark drizzle in the morning.

Damp and misty, getting foggy as the day went on.

Gloomy, damp weather - much warmer but I think I preferred it cold and bright.

Very cold again - flawless bright weather though.
