In the sunshine and out of the breeze on Tuesday the sunshine for 11.5 hours felt warm but the Artic airstream limited the rise in temperature to 11.5C, which was 2.6C below the average. However, it was a dry day and the UV level of 6.0 took it into the ‘High’ category and was the strongest since 28th August.
The thermometer sank to a minimum of 3.8C at 06.10 on Wednesday being exactly average for April.
Wednesday arrived with total cloud cover, although there was a brief ray of sunshine at 07.50. A warm front is lurking to the southwest that eventually should bring a warmer airstream but not likely to have much effect today. The breeze will be light and veer from the northeast to southeast as the day progresses.
