Grey, quiet day. Short shower of rain about 7pm.

Some thundery rain in the evening - didn't live up to the promise of the huge, hard-topped clouds that'd bubbled up in the afternoon. But in Birmingham a tornado has injured 19 people. Genuine tornadoes very rare in Britain, especially in cities.

Another wet day, none too warm either.

Rained most of the day, but cleared to a mellow, sunny evening.

Cloudy, grey day ideal for staying in and fiddling with tapes.

To Southend. Very clear air afforded fine views of Kent. Dartford bridge towers also clearly visible.

Beautiful hot day.

Beautiful weather, cloudless till about 4pm.

Very hot again today.

Very hot.

Weather had got very hot by the end of my walk (1pm).

Beautiful hot, clear day. Walked to Asda through the country park - from the hilltop field a huge sky with grand sweep of cirrus across it.

Some nice weather at times. Fierce sun.

Very calm, warm, quiet summer day. Enjoyed green and gold light seen through leaves of chestnut tree outside back window.

Not very summery in the morning - grey and cold. Weather warmed up in the afternoon: strolled up to the Co-op for a Radio Times.

Really started raining about 4.30, went on all evening. Dark, cold, not like summer at all.

Real 'rain before seven, fine before eleven' weather, with heavy rain well into the morning. It may've stopped about eleven but it was at least 3pm before the sun came out. A bit like the weather on Aloysius, grey and wet with a powerful sun (Vega) occasionally breaking through the clouds.

Weather's gone off these last few days - not chilly, but no feeling of summer heat either.
