Got a late start from Bolsena and found the weather to be very cloudy with high humidity.
Within the first 6 miles the wind speed picked up tremendously and it began pouring rain.
Having not used my poncho in a while I was forced to take shelter under some trees and dig it out of the bottom of my pack.
I then restarted on the now muddy dirt trail and within 2 miles the wind speeds again increased and it began to thunder and lightening for a short period.
Once that subsided it began to hail (See photo), which quickly evaporated due to the high humidity.
Needless to say the weather gods threw everything they had at me today, so I topped off my baked salmon dinner with an Aperol spritz and enjoyed the sunset over Viterbo.

is a scary proposition when walking, especially out in the open.
throughout & for some unknown/mysterious reason, headaches, sensitivity to noise & light & a late, slow start the next morning!! 
Perhaps you're experiencing some of my aforementioned fuzziness...
