Wednesday brought us another 5.3 hours of strong sunshine that gave us a lovely meteorological autumn day with a maximum of 19.2C, being 0.6C above average. However, the brisk northerly breeze pegged back the temperature making it the coolest day this month. The northerly wind did not originate from the Arctic but much further south thus having much less cooling effect on the temperature.
A cold night followed that meant the thermometer fell steadily to a minimum of 5.6C at 06.28, just six minutes before the red globe of the sun appeared above the horizon and reversed the trend.
Thursday arrived with blue sky and sunshine from dawn that by 08.00 had lifted the temperature to 9.6C.
