Light steady rain this morning, not much wind yet. Lovely yesterday afternoon - sun pouring into the lounge at my daughter's place - and my granddaughter's birthday party was quite peaceful.

Glad your granddaughter had a nice day for it.
Temperature fairly constant 15 degrees C here. Rain has dropped off and wind isn't much. Sun came out for a few moments around 1pm.

The rain is starting to really come down now (+4pm) Wind has cranked up a notch as well- varies from NNW to N to NNE, depending where you are around the coast.
