The sunshine on Friday combined with the warm southerly air stream pushed the thermometer to 14.6C, which was 4C above my 40-year average and the warmest day since 18th November. The UV level at its peak registered 3,6, which took it into the ‘Moderate’ level for the firsts then since 25th September. The overnight minimum of 9.3C was also well above average +6.8C.
Some brightness marked the start of Friday with the odd, very brief glimpse of sunshine. By 08.00 the thermometer had risen to 10.7C.
There are still five low pressure systems in the North Atlantic so the weather for the next few days is still changeable.
