Dock basin and lock

14:30 Grey cloud & showers, 20 o C. Wind S 17mph. Humidity 72%. Pressure 1004mB. Visibility good. High tide today 21:49, 7.73m.

Lock gates closed.

Another quiet day, typical summer bank holiday weather. It looks like the tail end of Hurricane Bill has arrived, there have been heavy showers and some hailstones. Ribble Steam appears to be having a good day, trains seen crossing the bridge have been full. It's an undercover attraction, popular on a day like today.
