After a wet morning yesterday producing 3.7mm, the sky brightened a little during the afternoon with occasional bursts of weak sunshine, which pushed the thermometer to 10.0C at 15.32, about average for March. During the evening the clear skies meant that the thermometer tumbled giving an air frost with a minimum of -0.6C, the coldest night since 11th February, but only until midnight.
There followed a lull in the wind for a couple of hours before the effects of the depression over the near continent began to affect our area. The thermometer started to climb just after 1am giving a temperature of 5.6C at 08.00 with the wind backing into the north-east around 3am.
