Yes, the sun came up at last but for not longer than 3 seconds - it started showing on the horizon at 7.14am and was hidden behind the clouds within 3 seconds (third picture from top was taken at 7.17am). Then the only bit of sun I saw was the rays in the bottom picture which managed to penetrate through the clouds.
This is a sequence of shots I took to show it off.
Later on in the day all the clouds cleared and we were left with a scorching sun for the remainder of the day.
Thank you so much for viewing and for all your comments and fav's on yesterday's picture. The weather forecast says that we're in for some rough weather again this week - Wednesday is the worst, I think.
