The many hours of sunshine on Sunday lifted the temperature to a maximum of 19.3C at 12.46, being 2.1C below the average. However, increasing cloud amounts during the afternoon limited further sunshine and any further rise in temperature and brought a minor shower mid-afternoon amounting to 0.3mm. The low at 06.14 early Monday was just above average at +0.5C.
Monday began with some brightness and brief spells of sunshine but just before 08.00 banks of cloud drifted in from the west.
A large area of high pressure, reaching from mid-Atlantic to Russia, is blocking low pressure systems edging in from the west. The barometric pressure reading at 08.00 was 1019.0mb, the highest since the 11th.
