After a dry start to Monday with some sunshine it clouded over at midday with light rain beginning to fall at 13.15 amounting to 5.1mm. The temperature dropped away markedly after 14.00 from a maximum of 11.1C to 6C in the early evening.
A temporary ridge of high pressure meant the skies cleared during the night leading to an air frost, just, with a low of -0.3C at 06.15 Tuesday.
The monthly rainfall total to date of 63.3mm is 7mm above the 39-year average.
The ridge of high pressure, just for today, brought a sunny start to the day, if chilly, but that persistent wind from the northeast and north yesterday has fallen away with calm conditions. The Arctic airstream, originating from north of Greenland, is still with us so temperatures by day and night will continue to be depressed.
