Overnight it was generally cloudy with outbreaks of rain, drizzle,
mist and low cloud, although it was drier in northern Scotland with
clear spells. It was very wet in places, particularly in central and
eastern parts of Scotland, and it was also another warm night,
especially in southeastern England. Then during the day there were
some more outbreaks of locally very heavy rain across central,
southern and northeastern Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of
northern England and Wales. In addition to this another area of
locally very heavy rain and thunderstorms moved across East Sussex,
Kent, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk during the evening. However despite
all this rainfall many places across central and southern England had
a dry day, and some sunshine broke through locally, especially in
southeastern England. Another area that escaped largely dry was the
far northwest of Scotland. The afternoon temperature was warmer than
average across the southeastern quarter of England but generally
closer to average further north and west. However, it was distinctly
cool across central and eastern Scotland in the rain.
