rain all afternoon80°F

Mild and grey at first light, the air near 65°F under cloud that had come in overnight. The morning warmed under it and a south wind rose. By early afternoon the air was near 80° and the wind was strong, the cloud breaking and closing over the flat country. Rain came in the late afternoon and fell for two hours, a fifth of an inch, enough to soak the ground. Evening was damp and cooler with the wind still up.
