Monday was the last of the mild days that saw the thermometer rise to a maximum of 9.1C at 12.45 before the cold front arrived from the north. The thermometer hovered around 6C for most of the evening but then after 04.15 early Tuesday the temperature began to drop steadily to reach 2.1C at 08.00 Tuesday and was still falling. Therefore the high was 1.0C above average and the low 0.3C below average. A little precipitation amounted to 0.4mm.
Tuesday began bright under variable cloud. The barometric pressure has been rising over the past twenty-four hours with a reading of 1023.1mb at 08.00, up 11mb since Monday at that time, so a predominantly dry and calm day ahead. The wind direction will be predominantly from the east or east-southeast today and light.
The forecast charts indicate that the cool, calm weather will continue into Wednesday but a deep depression heading in from the Atlantic will bring milder weather but stormy conditions for Thursday.
