Although we only had 26 minutes of sunshine on Saturday compared to the 9.5 hours on Friday, the temperature was up a degree due to the wind backing from the west into the southwest, which brought a warmer air mass from mid Atlantic.
The thermometer slowly edged upwards to a maximum of 18.9C at 15.42 during a brief brighter spell, which was 0.3C above the 34-year September average.
During the evening there were a couple of very light showers that amounted to 0.4mm bringing the total for September to just 2.3mm when evaporation is currently running at 19mm.
Due to the milder air and a mainly cloudy night the thermometer did not fall below 14.2C, which made it the warmest morning for over two weeks.
Sunday arrived with broken cloud and a little brightness.
Update at 16.15: sun returns, which lifts temperature to maximum of 21.8C at 15.09 being 3.2C above average for September.
