Windrush Weather

Cold front brings substantial rain

After a brief shower in the early hours of Sunday the morning was dry but the approaching cold front brought increasing cloud and several hours of rain in the afternoon, intense between 15.15 and 14.30, amounting to 5.9mm. That brought the monthly total to 70.6mm, which is 78% of the 35-year average.

Temperatures by day and night, thanks to the cloud cover and south westerly breeze gusting to 24mph, were both above average with a maximum of 8.9C (+2.0C) and 4.7C (+3.6C).

Monday saw broken after dawn with the cloud base much higher.
