A much cooler day on Wednesday under cloudy skies and a brisk wind that limited the temperature rise to a peak of 10.6C being 3.5C below the average.
Rain just before midnight and until 03.00 produced 4.4mm of precipitation.
The past night has been mild with the thermometer reaching a minimum of 8.4C being 4.7C above the average and a drop of just a couple of degrees between day and night.
Thursday dawned gloomy as the back-edge of the weather front that brought the rain, eased eastwards. The wind has veered a few more degrees and comes principally from the west until mid-afternoon before edging towards the northwest. By 08.40 the cloud had begun to thin and very weak sunshine appear to bring some brightness.
