The six consecutive days without rain were the longest dry period since the beginning of June. Sadly, low pressure systems have now taken over our weather with a low just off the east coast of Scotland that in the last day has produced three short showers amounting to 1.2mm.
A cold front passed over the UK early on Friday, hence the depressed temperatures in the cooler air. The maximum of 19.8C was the coolest day since the 6th and 2.8C below the average. Likewise the minimum of 10.8C was below average (-1.0C).
Saturday revealed a cloudy start to the day after a light shower occurred at 05.00.
