Bring back the SW!
...or the dry windy W/NW of much of September, for that matter...
It's a "3 fat ladies" situation here - in the 10 days from 24 Sept to today, we had 4 overcast days, 2 sunny ones and now 4 more overcast days - most of the dull days have also had mist or very low cloud bases for substantial periods of time. I'm assuming today will stay as is now during daylight...
That's 8 days of 8/8 in those 10.
In decades of living here I can recall very few cases of "lengthy" spells duller than that, even in winter.

Drastic change in the skies about 30 mins ago - looks as if it's passing just to the east of the city, but not sure yet - very black indeed with signs of downbursts and hail. Was still basking in afternoon sun at the point the dark stuff was covering about 3/4 of the sky - can't see properly to the S/SE from here without walking up a hill.
