Evening skies

Nature Table - Summer Solstice

After the storm

Several hours of rolling thunder, lightning, continuous heavy, warm rain (warm rain is unusual in the British Isles!) . . . and then the storm blew itself out and the sky started to clear a little before sunset.

Lockdown Sunset

We had settled high pressure weather throughout most of April and May, so very little in the way of visually interesting sunsets. Today was different - low pressure system, high wind, thick cloud, heavy rain . . . starting to clear at sunset.
