Could hear the wind roaring overhead earlier, haven't heard that for a while

A lot of haze/dust around, sky somewhat discoloured.

Windy here. Got an eye on the Screen so it doesn't blow over again.

Temp only peaked @ 19.8C here sofa. Mind-you the strong wind does have a cooling effect. If it were calm, then it would be a different story.

Raining here in Fairlie now, was 100k gusts earlier on but has gone calm now with the rain.

Winds dying down this afternoon, now seem more from the west or WSW or even SW
