Under the relentless northeasterly wind gusting to 20mph and minimal sunshine the thermometer struggled to reach a maximum of 15.8C on Tuesday. This was a significant 4.4C below the 39-year average and the coldest day since 15th May.
The IV level was also the lowest for almost three weeks. We have now had 23 consecutive dry days, the longest dry period since August 2007 with 28 days.
As on numerous previous days the cloud rolled in again overnight with a minimum of 8.3C being 1.8C below the average.
Wednesday once again revealed a cloudy start to the day but although continuous was thinner. The wind continues from the north east.
