Tuesday morning was initially overcast with occasional light drizzle, not measurable, but brightened towards late morning with just 1.3 hours of sunshine in the afternoon.
As a result the temperature was down almost 6C on the very warm Monday with a maximum 1C below average rising to 18.7C.
The sky cleared in the evening giving a pleasant end to the day but the clear skies gave us the coldest night since 21st May with a minimum of 5.7C at 04.51 this morning.
Wednesday arrived with intermittent sunshine that lifted the temperature to 13.0C at the time readings were taken at 08.00.
Update at 12.00: at last the wind this morning has changed from the persistent north east direction now varying between south and west and light in strength.
