Although Thursday began dry and bright light rain and drizzle arrived mid-morning and lasted all day. As a result of the low, thick cloud the thermometer only reached a maximum of 19.2C making the coolest day since 15th July and 2.2C below my 40-year average. The precipitation total was minimal, just 3.0mm. The overnight thick cloud meant a mild night that saw the thermometer not drop below 15.5C, logged at 06.01 early Friday being 3.7C above my average.
Friday arrived with the back end of the two cold weather fronts crossing our area, however, the cloud is likely to thin and clear as the fronts exit to the east resulting in good sunshine in the afternoon and the temperature recovering from yesterday’s low. The wind is forecast to veer a few degrees and come from the west today.
