The northerly winds, peaking at 23mph yesterday, meant even lower temperatures by day and significant wind chill. The maximum was just 6.4c (average 10.23C) irrespective of almost 4 hours of strong sunshine. Just after 3pm the temperature dropped almost 3C, that with wind chill, meant it was more like 1C.
Overnight the wind has continued, unlike the still nights of October, often well into double figures, but this meant that no air frost occurred due to the movement of air. At 08.00 today the thermometer read 2.4C but wind chill factor makes if feel like -1.2C. The day has dawned with almost clear blue skies and welcome sunshine. The winds from the northerly direction are also drier with the humidity reading 93% at 08.00, the lowest at dawn for almost a month.
