An afternoon of high winds, broken cloud and sunny spells following heavy rainfall overnight and this morning. The ocean is becoming more interesting to paint again as some decent waves come into shore, an indication of incoming rough weather as a cycle of slow moving depressions sets up to pass over the country during the next three or four days. Quite a few trees have already lost most of their leaves. It’s not uncommon here for the first gales of autumn to strip the rest bare before the warm yellows and golds of the season have had a real chance to appear.
