The beginning of the meteorological summer yesterday, 1st June, was definitely not summer-like. With thick, low cloud all day, brought in by a brisk north-easterly wind, a maximum of 12.2C was only reached at 17.00 and frequent moisture in the wind, it was miserable. The UV peak of 3.1 was in the ‘Moderate’ category and usually recorded in March.
This morning the cloud is higher but between 04.30 and 05.30 the weather front passed over when the winds gusted again to 23mph. At 08.00 the temperature was only 8.8C but with wind chill it felt like 7C.

A sunny morning yesterday before the rain arrived

This morning it is cool with a temperature of 11.0C at 08.00 with low cloud and drizzle. -
Sunshine in short supply yesterday
The thick cloud brought in by the brisk north-easterly winds yesterday only started to break up in the late afternoon that then provided a few hours of hazy sunshine, which boosted the temperature to 17.1C. Overnight the cloud was thinner that allowed hazy sunshine early this morning that strengthened at mid-morning after a minimum of 10.6C.

Gloomy morning after very sunny day
This morning the thick cloud has again drifted in from the North Sea and obscured the sun. Yesterday gave us 6.08 hours of strong sunshine after the cloud thinned during the morning to give much sunshine during the afternoon and evening. The maximum yesterday was down on previous days at 17.9C, still above average, with a minimum of 9.4C overnight.
