Autumn with coolest night since May and early valley fog

Rain persisted into the early afternoon yesterday and with the cold front moving east the sky broke late afternoon with limited brightness. The rainfall measured 6.7mm bringing the total for September to 34.0mm. The temperature dropped from a maximum of 17.9C, the first below average this month, for over thirteen hours to a very cool minimum of 5.7C at 06.56. The early valley mist quickly evaporated after dawn as the sun rose with strong sunshine.
