Its mostly blue sky this morning, with some high cloud. Wind is nil, overnight low of 15.4°C - just beginning to increase now, 98% RH and steady baro of 1022.9 hPa. I think it could get quite warm today if the high cloud doesn't develop as it did yesterday.

I was just about to comment how the forecast low for last night was so wrong, I can't now, lol!
Forecast low was 15, low here was 18.0°C. (4th night in a row we have been above the forecast minimum).

Currently mostly cloudy and 20°C.

Lovely fine morning in the valley and starting to get very warm, summer in Welly Town seems to have finally arrived...

Well that yellow thing way up in the sky is shining on West Melton at the moment and it is 17.6 deg (and climbing) with the wind from the NNE at abt 4.8 kmh. We do have a few white clouds floating about but hopefully they will not stay and it will be a clear day with higher temps. Joyous!!
Will completely ignore what my weather station is telling me that "Precipitation possible within 24 to 48 hours" but will still get the washing out to day just in case.

Stayed reasonably cloudy but became mainly clear in the late afternoon and very warm, though our max out here only reached 24.7°C - currently its 18.6°C but is nasty and muggy with high humidity.
