Friday saw the maximum below average again by a significant 4C with a peak of only 13.1C. With a brisk wind from the northeast, gusting to 16mph, there was a wind chill that meant at times it felt 2C bellow the temperature shown on the thermometer.
There were several very light drizzle showers that emanated from the thick cloud cover, but nothing was measurable hence ‘trace’ shown in the records.
By contrast, due to the thick cloud cover overnight, it was the first above average minimum in ten days with the thermometer not falling below 8.9C making it the warmest night this month.
Saturday arrived with the persistent thick cloud although the cloud base at 08.00 was higher than on Friday with the thermometer at that time reading 10.1C and virtually now wind.
