Monday again brought a wet morning amounting to 5.6mm taking the monthly total to 50.8mm being 77% of the 39-year average. We are half way through the month and have had just three totally dry days. However, the weather is about to change even if only for three days. The southwesterly breeze became very gusty during the afternoon with a peak gust of 25mph.
The past night was much cooler with a low of 10.1C , which was 1.7C below the average and after the wet morning produced a very heavy dew.
The barometric pressure is rising rapidly thanks to a temporary ridge of high pressure building for the next three days. As a result Tuesday arrived with welcome strong sunshine that lifted the temperature to 15.7C by 08.00 with the barometric pressure reading 1016.0mb at that time. As the depression relocates and the high pressure asserts itself the wind will veer a few degrees to come principally from the west today. By 08.30 broken cloud began to arrive that interrupted the sunshine from time to time.
