Fine and cold most of the day.

Miserable wet dark weather again.

Dark, rainy day.

Fine and cold.

Quick trip to Clacton in the afternoon - strolled along the far end of the promenade. New Moon, setting sun, huge sky and sea. So good to get a bit of space around me.

Cold and bright today.

Horrible dark, rainy day.

A very small amount of snow last night, and very cold indeed today with an icy North-west wind.

Cold, clear and very windy.

Clear and cold again.

Fine, cold walking weather, and very clear.

Clear and cold again, clouding over and getting a bit warmer.

Bright, cold day with icy North wind. Very invigorating.

Warmer, but grey and raining in the morning.

Damp grey day.

Dark and raining hard in the morning.

Interestingly cold and foggy today.

Another bright cold day.

Bright, cold, frosty morning: later clouded over to make an excitingly dark cold winter afternoon with an icy wind. Felt a bit down, despite the bright weather.

A bright, cold day, ideal for a short stroll in the morning.

Cold, dull weather.

Rather good weather - cold, dry, grey and windy.

Dark and cold again.

Dark, grey, cold, rainy day. Very depressing.

Looked like a dark, dry grey day with cold wind - the sort that's enjoyable if you're well wrapped up. Unfortunately, as I walked to town to do my first bout of Christmas shopping, it began raining.

Another bright frosty morning.

Beautiful clear, cold, bright day.

Dark and rainy and windy in the morning. It began to clear at lunchtime, and by 1330 I was looking at a fine panorama from the top floor - dark clouds to left and right, fair-weather clouds above, blue sky elsewhere.

Stopped raining at last.

Rained all day again.

Depressing weather (static warm front) with gloom and rain all day.

Some welcome sun-breaks around lunchtime, but another dull day otherwise, with drizzle in the morning.

Very warm for the time of year, also very calm. Almost unsettling in combination.

Rather warmer than I expected today. Fine view at lunchtime SW over the town, under grey stratoculumus - very pleasant weather if you're somewhere warm with something interesting to do.

Rotten weather - penetrating drizzle all day after 10 am-ish.

Bright, windy day, becoming enjoyably windy by the evening. Nothing like a dark, dry, windy night, when you're somewhere warm.

Another dull day; rained hard till the afternoon, then cleared. Took a whole binful of recycling paper to the dump in the rain.

Dull grey day with cold North wind and thin mist.

Rather pleasant cold, dark grey day. Don't know why I found that pleasant, but I did.

Bright, cold, almost cloudless.

Bright and cold again.

Bright, cold day, rather like when me and S. went to Ilkley Moor last year.

Confined to quarters all day with streaming cold, but weather seemed to be rain in the morning and clear in the afternoon, possibly a cold front situation.

Raining quite hard in the evening.

At 5pm the rain which'd been going on all day had cleared, and I was able to greet the New Moon on my walk home.

Cold and clear.

Bright cold day with showers.

Much colder, with more showers, and very cold clear evening.

Excellent weather, cold, bright and showery.

Cold and raining in the morning but walked to work because I hate the extra traffic you get when it rains.

Even colder today.

Cold, with strong East wind. Glad I put the heating on yesterday.

Cold and bright again.

I seem to be quite over the autumnal anxiety I was having a couple of weeks back. Perhaps autumn is just something I need time to accept.

Another bright, hard, cold, windy autumn day.

East wind again, really rather cold, but at lunchtime a sky so blue and clear you could almost see space behind it.

Cold East wind today, quite strong.

Bright, hard autumn day, very clear, could still have been summer if you kept a jacket on.

In the evening, beautiful white full moon in clear night sky.

Still rather mild, with excellent dark grey stratocumulus.

Quite windy, mostly dry, with fast-moving dark grey stratocumulus. Cold in the morning but turned milder and damper later.

At sunset, beautiful violet light, from a strip of clear sky right at the horizon, shone up under the clouds and illuminated the underside of the canopy.

Have been thinking - what if the sky is a vast, ever-changing message which we unconsciously read: like when you see a word without consciously noticing the letter shapes, the picture is clear, we see the elements, but the meaning goes into our subconscious.

Wet, windy morning, eventually clearing to hard blue sky and white clouds. You could just have taken it for summer at lunchtime.

Frodo on Weathertop - interestingly windy day.

Very bright, windy and cold. Appropriately, had a headache - it was the kind of weather that I associate with hangovers in the Dark Years.

Cool, bright day, with mist in the morning.

Really quite autumnal with grey clouds, and rain in the evening.

Cold and bright again.

Beautiful cold bright day. Walking round the lake during the morning, it could still have been summer if you ignored those trees that had gone yellow.

Really rather cool and bright, with North wind, blue sky and big white cumuli.

Walked home through heavy, cold rain. Was very glad indeed to come back to a warm, dry house. And to find letter saying I'll be on genuine green electricity from Oct 9th.

Again golden, but sort of softer and cooler, more autumnal.

Another beautiful golden day.

Warmer and more golden even than yesterday.

Another golden day.

Again, weather like yesterday. Very mellow.

Again clear, sunny, pleasantly warm, blue and green and gold among the poplars in the afternoon.

Pleasantly warm, but with an exciting threat of autumn behind it all. Like the Roman Empire circa AD 200.

Definite autumnal feeling today: not so much the weather, more a psychological urge to stay in and play D&D by myself.

Again bright, cool, clear, with big cumuli later. Always that fin de siècle Septembral feeling at the back of the picture.

Beautiful cool, clear, bright morning for the last day of Summer.

Cool, bright morning with big cumuli.

Dull day, clouds threatening enough to be interesting though.

It came on to rain in the afternoon, but went out anyway. Rather enjoyable walk in the rain.

Another dull day, but warm and with a kind of 'cosy' atmosphere - probably long weekend anticipation.

Sky grey and covered with stratocumulus - seemed a truly strange sight after weeks of blue skies.

Fine weather, not too hot, just a hint of autumn round the edges of things. Wonderful clear sunset and twilight. I wish summer could go on for another month.

Another sunny, not-too-hot day. In the evening detected perhaps an autumnal slant to the sunlight?

Lovely weather, much cooler (NW airstream) and clearer. By comparison with the last week or so, seemed like a foretaste of bright autumn weather.

Thunderstorm at 5am and another at 8.30. Very strange to glimpse, through gaps in the lower cloud, high-piled cumulonimbus drifting in at 8 am.

Very hot indeed: UK record broken at Heathrow, then Gravesend, latter 101° F.

Cooled down late in the afternoon with appearance of clouds: altocumulus castellanus at first, then more cumulonimboid clouds above a lower layer, with indeed a couple of rumbles of thunder, but nothing more so far.

Really hot today. Was in town early, and even as I walked home at noon it was too hot to hurry.

Perhaps not quite so hot, but still impressively hazy.

Really rather too hot today, though sky an impressive hazy blue, and in the evening the closest approach to a flat calm I've seen.

Very hot weather, and apparently set to get hotter.

Good weather again.

Weather lovely. Went out for walk round block about 4pm just to appreciate it.

Weather didn't suit the date: light rain, dull, rain still quietly persistent on my way home.

Very dark clouds rolled up about 4.50pm and it began to absolutely piss down as I walked home. Glad I started keeping that spare brolly in the office. Actually I still got soaked from the knees down, it was raining so hard, but it makes a big difference when your head's dry. Once I'd got going, it was very pleasant to walk through the rain, see the gutters in full spate and huge puddles everywhere.

Wet, dull day with a gleam or two of sunshine, and fairly strong wind.

Lovely weather in the morning, interestingly windy with big clouds later.

Impressive shower early in the evening.

Rather dull weather, impressive rain in the evening.

Wind and rain.

Cooler, fresher weather with some big cumuli.

Off to Bluewater about eleven. Lovely day, hot with clean-lined white clouds. They massed up a bit in the afternoon but it didn't rain.

Lots of thunder, lightning and rain overnight. Then today cooler, breezy and sunny.

Cooler and quite windy today.

Excellent thunderstorm about 5pm. Was able to do that 'sit inside looking out of the window at the rain' thing I so enjoy.

Just as hot, but with a lot of cirrus.

Weather so flawless today that I abandoned all thoughts of Ikea and went to Felixstowe. Hot, utterly cloudless, strong sea breeze. Quite lovely.

Home via Stoke by Nayland. Countryside as lovely as the seaside, with rustling wheat fields, dappled shadows etc.

Now a bright full Moon riding above the quiet town. Kind of benevolent. Chimes with the Luna Lovegood style dreamy goodwill I've been feeling since Saturday.

Flawless weather, hardly a speck of cloud in the intensely blue sky all day. Sun shining very powerfully - I took coffee on the doorstep, and my arm was starting to burn by the time I'd finished drinking it.

Sunset so clear, nothing to describe except the gradation of colour in the sky, orange to yellow to greenish to dark blue to black. Capella shining in North about 11pm, a reminder that, although Summer is in its youthful prime, the year does keep on turning.

Absolutely gorgeous weather - sun beating down all day from a deep blue sky. Clouds got fewer and fewer, till by the evening there were just a few very thin red strips of cloud against a sky like a deep pool of clear water.

In the evening gazed at yellow full moon above the opposite side of the river valley, shining down on the quiet town. Perfect end to a perfect day.

Extremely hot today.

Very hot today - had to take my jacket off about 7 minutes into my walk to work.

Unpleasant weather. Quite chilly in the morning again. All day sky grey with an almost wintry appearance.

Grey start, sun came gorgeously out in the afternoon to change the mood. And in the evening the low sun turned archipelagoes of altocumulus orange against the blue. An hour later the West was a beautiful clear, pale lavender - higher up the New Moon slipped in and out of low dark small clouds.

Rediscovered how pleasant it is to walk in the rain with an umbrella - when it isn't windy.

Was sitting in the library at lunchtime, facing a vast view to the West. Dark clouds and darker pannus hurrying below them above the pylons and factories. It started raining - the rain advanced towards me so successive folds of the landscape faded behind silver curtains. When it reached campus a young woman ran for cover with girlish abandon. Her soberer friend dashed under a convenient tree and put up her umbrella.

Horrible weather - grey, hot, raining in the morning and right up till lunchtime. (Just remembered June 1997 when it seemed to rain every day. Always see myself in Garden Lane, walking to the forex place with my umbrella).

Think the weather got fed up with me taking it for granted. Grey, hot and humid today with a little rain in the evening (and that rain-after-dry-spell scent in the air).

More gorgeous weather. I do like these long sunny evenings. I open windows and the front door, and the flat becomes light and airy.

Lovely weather early in the morning, then clouded over, then cleared again.

Gorgeous weather again.

Horrible grey humid start. Cleared up nicely later though.

Greyer, cooler day, with rain at times. Stayed in and read Order of the Phoenix.

Gorgeous weather, from hot blue morning to fleecy-clouded noon to clear, rose and jade evening.

Hot, hazy weather with thunder in the afternoon and evening. Rather unpleasant.

Rather too hot today. Wind in S.E. Woke up at 4 am feeling altogether too warm, but got back to sleep and dreamt I was Buffy's trusted friend.

Rather cloudier than yesterday, but hotter. Still just about pleasant though.

Absolutely perfect weather. Very pleasant afternoon with triangular sandwiches, coffee and sitting on the doorstep in the sun.

Beautiful round yellow moon again.

Gorgeous weather. Had to take my jacket off when I'd only got as far as Tescos. Usually I'm in Limes Road before that happens. At lunchtime sat under the oak tree again and just chilled out, watching the leaves on the trees round the lake wave in the breeze.

Beautiful evening too, with round yellow moon.

Lovely afternoon and evening weather. Read new Viz under big oak tree at lunchtime. Quite idyllic.

Lovely evening: fine at 6.30 and could have been 4pm, still mostly light at 9.30.

Cloudy, cool start, turning fine.

Rather cool, grey day at first, with showers, but cleared up for a sunny afternoon and evening.

Moved all my net curtains to half the height of the window, so I can see the sky and distance and still not be seen from outside unless I go right up to the window. Amazing difference. Sky views are important to me, it seems.

Pissing down with rain in the morning. Traffic dreadful. Next time I'm walking in with a change of clothes. Heavy, humid weather the rest of the day.

Weather turned grey and wet, but still very warm.

Gorgeous weather again. If anything too hot.

Really gorgeous weather today. In the evening that pleasant smell you get in the cooler evening of a hot day.

Beautiful weather. Felt as if I'd fallen into an idyllic nostalgia film: deep blue sky, big white clouds, plump green trees, lush grass. Or perhaps onto some halcyon Star Trek planet, except that I didn't stumble on any deadly secrets.

Windy. Colder again. They finally put the heating back on at work - I was wearing two T-shirts, a shirt, a jumper and a blanket against the cold.

Rainy day.

Took blanket to work with me today, after it was so cold yesterday.

Weather very dramatic today with giant cumulonimbus anvillatus, thunder and hail. I'd forgotten May is a good thunder season.

Big-white-clouds morning.

Gorgeous weather again. Quite flawless first thing, with little cumulus cells appearing mid-morning.

Gorgeous weather.

Rainy.

Great cold-front showers rolling in from the West again all day.

Walking home, cold-front rain passed leaving sunshine, green leaves and a rainbow.

Lovely day though, windy and warm with blue sky and big white cumuli.

Rainy day, with some interesting strong wind and fast-moving grey skies.

Rain, patchy at first, constant in the evening. Everything suddenly looking fresh light green after the dry spell.

Still warm, but hazy.

Weather beautiful again.

Gorgeous weather again.

Beautiful lavender evening sky with huge coppery full Moon.

Day of strong hazy sunshine, then a beautiful evening with a full moon later.

Weather's warmed right up this weekend.

Beautiful sunny day with blossom on the bushes on the other side of the railway cutting. Beautiful but still chilly.

Bright, sunny, yet colder than yesterday again.

Again bright and sunny, but even colder.

Bright and clear, but really much too cold.

Cloudy in the morning but cleared after lunch for 'late afternoon in blue and gold'.

Bright, clear and cold.

Weather bright, with initially clear sky, then cumulus cells, then fluffy cumuli, but very cold with strong North wind.

Exciting post-cold-front showers in the afternoon. Trees in leaf and blossom, Spring really under way.

Yet again, beautiful weather. We've had over 2 weeks of this.

Grey 'stay in' sort of day.

Colder today. Green leaves on the hedges.

Beautiful weather. Very dry though, a lot of dust blowing about.

Pearly sky today but still warm.

Weather warm and clear yet again.

Beautiful weather again - really quite warm. Felt suffused by vernal gratitude at lunchtime.

Beautiful weather, warmer too.

Duly up at 8.55 am - earlier than I have on a Saturday for a long time - to a beautiful but chilly day.

Cloudy and cold today.

Driving back through the countryside, everything all pale rose post-sunset glow: got back into town, and mist comes creeping over the ground like the onset of Melekril in Maia.

Bright sunny weather again, but colder. Hazy afternoon.

Felt expansive and confident. Don't know what brought that on: might've been the beautiful, cloudless (if cold) weather.

Grey and windy.

Weather grey, getting dark and very wet in the afternoon - ideal weather for finishing the filing cabinet purge. Suddenly cleared about 5pm to a clear blue/yellow/grey evening, with a New Moon.

Lovely bright, warm sunny weather: opened the curtains to find that the council had cleared away almost all the litter in the street.

Dry, grey day with that feeling of having 'potential'. In the afternoon the grey clouds had yellow-grey sunbreaks, bringing back those elusive childhood memories of spring afternoons. My head still a strange place.

Rain in the morning.

Lot of rain today.

Last day of winter. Sunny first thing, thick mist about 0930, rain and wind later.

Fog in the morning, turning to Sun shining strongly through haze. This somehow encouraged me to continue the recent tendency to use Saturday as a day for recovering from the week rather than initiating new activities.

Cold, but very clear, and sun very strong. Definite hints of Spring. I think this is the opposite of the days around August 20th, when the summer sunlight takes on an autumnal slant.

A bit warmer today.

Beautiful bright cold day.

Sun came out! But the clear sky made it very cold indeed.

Still grey, and rather cold. Could really do with the Sun coming out.

Another grey, rainy day.

Started off very mild, got colder but was very moist. Rather pleasant compared to the dry, bitter cold we had a couple of weeks back.

Weather very cold again.

Another cold, clear, bright day.

In the evening was looking at a wonderful New Moon, when a plane flew 'above' the Moon; and its vapour trail - lit red by the just-set Sun - drifted 'down' so that the tail end just drifted across the crescent as the trail dissipated.

Very cold again, snow at lunchtime.

Mostly clear and sunny, and very cold, though the blue sky, white clouds and green grass at lunchtime did hint at the approach of spring.

Thunderstorm in the afternoon. I know in theory that they can happen in the winter, but never experienced one.

Very cold night, about an inch of snow. Roads covered in ice. Decided to walk to work. Good idea - on way saw cars sliding and skidding and getting stuck on hills. Everyone had a tale to tell when they eventually arrived.

Found myself very tired when I got home, what with the cold and clomping round all day in big boots.

My fave R5 presenter, Peter Allen, was one of the people who got stuck on the way home last night. He was phoning reports in to the station. When Drive started again at 4pm, he was doing it from Cambridgeshire, where he still was.

Very cold. Heavy snow in the morning and at lunchtime and in the evening, but tending to melt each time. Did however manage to recreate the childish wonder of standing by the window and looking up, seeing the white sky with the snowflakes coming down dark against it. Like bees, I thought that snowy morning in 1975.

Much colder - more squally rain and a strong, very cold North wind. Cleared later.

Hurrying home from meeting at 9.30pm, Sirius and ?Jupiter very bright in the clear dry air. There's something about very cold, windy, dry nights that gets me excited - reminds me of the 'dawn of time'. I have such happy recollections of this period (1973 to 1975).

Cold and very windy, with squally showers at times.

Sort of damp and cold and bright. Saw a protest against war on Iraq by the war memorial. It's odd how I was in favour of the 1991 war (till they massacred all those people fleeing back to Baghdad), but have been dead against this one ever since it became apparent that Bush was going to use the World Trade Centre attacks as an excuse for it. Bastard.

Anyway, got soaked in freezing cold rain but did see a beautiful bright, low double rainbow behind the protestors.

Cool, bright, frosty.

Another wet day.

Windy, rainy weather, quite warm comparatively though.

Couldn't sleep at 4am, got up and read the Guide To The Names In The Lord Of The Rings. Very soothing - Tolkien's petulant prose combined with rain on the roof.

Dark, grey, invigoratingly windy weather.

Beautiful clear sunrise (blue, green, salmon-pink) and sunset (blue, lavender).

Perhaps a bit less cold today. Biting wind though. Rain fell and melted the snow.

Cold and utterly clear, without a cloud all day. Snow still there, with blue shadows. At sunset continuous shade from dark blue to rose pink, with all the yellows and yellow-oranges in between.

More snow overnight and this morning. Colder than yesterday if anything.

Woke up to find it very cold, and snow on the ground, perhaps ½".

Very cold in the morning with a hard frost (a good 4 minutes scraping the car).

Cold today, and bright in the morning.
