A mild and cloudy morning with drizzle at first and a spell of heavy rain around midday. The heavy rain cleared by 1230 but it remained cloudy and the wind increased to gale force and became very gusty ahead of the cold front which brought a short spell of heavy rain around 1430, followed by a longer spell of light-moderate rain. It became dry by 1600 with the cloud breaking by 1700. Since then there's been one light shower.
