Sunsets

Typical April days of sunshine and showers were in short supply. There were some stunning sunsets, including this one on the 30th

Sunset on 31st looking across Wanstead Flats. July was a classic summer month for weather
A stunning example of sunlight illuminating the underside of cloud at sunset was seen mid-month
I took this yesterday evening. Windless, still and humid at ground level it was fascinating to look skyward and see the multi-level cloud continue to build into strange shapes, illuminated from below by the setting sun. A wonderful weekend for cloudspotting.
It was a month with some amazing sunsets. This one, on April 30th, happened just as the sky cleared before dusk

With the sun lower in the sky at this time of year there’s often a great opportunity for a decent sunset

Satellite images

Ophelia
Both the 2013 storm, left, and the 1987 storm followed a similar track as shown on these satellite pictures
On 25th a perfect curl could be seen on a depression centred off the west coast of Irleland. The rain associated with this low pressure brought the month's highest daily rainfall total: 23.4mm (the system bringing 27.5mm) - a thoroughly miserable Bank Holiday Monday where it rained ALL day, from 6am until 9.30pm. It was yet another example of how much even frontal rainfall can vary over a small area.
