There were sporadic light, brief showers throughout Saturday but minimal amount. The rain radar showed first an angry batch of thunder showers moving north to the east of our area then another selection to the west. However, a shower cell did pass over Marlborough starting at 19.30 for 50 minutes, that was heavier. The daily rainfall total was 7.5mm that took the monthly total to 26.1mm when the average is 58.2mm. The southerly wind was light all day with a maximum gust of 18mph and from the south principally.
The thermometer did just beat the maximum average with a peak of 23.3C (+0.4C) although the minimum of 11.7C was 0.2C below average.
Sunday dawned dull with total cloud cover. A bank of fog was observed before 07.00 to the north of Marlborough on the top of the Downs, that quickly disappeared. Light rain began to fall just before 08.00.
