Yesterday turned out to be a miserable day with low cloud and light rain on and off all day totalling 5.3mm. It is turning out to be a very dry October with a total of 31.3mm so far when the mean for the last 33 years is 88.1mm. The maximum temperature was only 10.9C, which was 4C below the mean for October. The persistent low cloud meant that there was no sunshine for only the second day this month. Not surprisingly the UV level was extremely low, the lowest since March 9th this year.
This morning the low cloud and mist is still evident although this has meant a slightly warmer night with the thermometer not dropping below 7.8C, just above average.
