The maximum of 19.3C on Friday made it the coolest day since the 15th being 1.3C below my 40-year average thanks to the very brisk wind from the west. The past night was very cool as the thermometer dropped to 5.9C, the coolest night since the 13th, being 4.3C below the average. Even the UV level at 6.2, rated High, was the lowest since the 13th.
Saturday started with welcome strong sunshine that had lifted the temperature to 14.8C by 08.00.
The soil temperature at a depth of 5cm has also reflected the reduction in heat with 22.1C, 20.9C,18.0C and 17.3C respectively over the past four days logged at 08.00
