Windrush Weather

Coldest night for seven months

Although the thermometer crept above the average maximum on Saturday during the limited hours of sunshine to reach 10.8C being 0.7C above average, the temperature dropped late afternoon and early evening to reach a low of 2.8C at 18.48. This was 0.9C below average, the coldest night since 30th April and the first below average night this month. The advancing cloud from yet another rain band meant the thermometer did an about turn and began to rise again reaching 6.6C at 08.00 on Sunday.

The couple of hours of rain amounted to 4.9mm that took the monthly average to 91.3mm, which was 1.5mm above average.

Sunday saw brightness initially but no sunshine. More cloud and associated rain is forecast for later in the day as another depression approaches the UK.
