It's very nice. I woke up this morning to a slight chill in temps and lots of morning dew. Let pups out to soak up the smells. Still humid and getting bit my mosquitos when sitting outside, but can't complain too much.

It's still warm here, but we had a slight wind last night that made it feel cooler so we went outside for a few hours to the park

Further detail
Storm Amy is expected to bring a spell of very strong winds to many parts of northern Britain later on Friday and into Saturday. Westerly winds will pick up during Friday, initially in the west before extending eastwards during Friday night. Gusts of 50 to 60 mph are likely for many areas and may reach 60 to 70 mph in some places for a time. Exposed coasts and hills will see the highest gusts which could exceed 80 mph. The strongest winds currently look more likely over parts of northern Scotland. This will lead to difficult driving conditions for high sided vehicles on prone routes such as cross winds on exposed or high level routes.

The very strong winds will also be accompanied by spells of heavy rain, most persistent across parts of western Scotland.

The winds will ease for most parts on Saturday afternoon but will continue to be very strong for the Northern Isles and parts of the far north of Scotland through to the end of the day before slowly easing overnight.

Took a shot of the sun with a solar filter because I saw we had an alert for increased solar activity.

Looks spicy (see all the spots and placement):

Storm Amy is now AMBER for Western and North Scotland

Storm Amy will bring a spell of damaging winds, initially in western areas during Friday
evening before gradually transferring northeastwards through the night and into early
Saturday. During this period, wind gusts of 60-70 mph are likely fairly widely, and may
exceed 95 mph in more exposed areas. This is likely to lead to travel and power
disruption.

We've had some good wind and mild temperatures (for us, anyway) but it's been very dry. We're under a burn ban now.
