A Cold Front traversed the country yesterday bringing an abrupt change to the brief milder spell. The wind veered into the north east. As a result of the cool air behind the front, the thermometer has fallen continuously from just after 2am yesterday until the low of this morning. The maximum yesterday was 7.7C with a minimum this morning just after dawn of -5.4C.
The frost this morning is not as severe as that on the 1st December, which had a minimum of -7.1C. The sun has been over the horizon for half an hour in a blue sky wth some very thin high cloud. Evidence that we have turned the year as the length of daylight increases and the sun begins its return journey to the north with an increase in UV light from the lowest I can record of 0.5 in December with the last two days registering 0.7.
The Daily Statistics page for 2017 will appear in the next few days when the new website is launched. Apologies for the absence of this data so far this year.
