Thankfully the website is now back up and running after it has been migrated to another platform and various other updates being installed in the next day or two. Hopefully, later this week, my IT man will install the latest wpDatatables section for the graphs when I will be able to access them to update the data. I am advised that now the site should load much quicker than previously.
The many hours of sunshine on Monday lifted the temperature to 9.8C being 1.9C above the average. However,the clear skies meant a cool evening and very cold night as the thermometer sank to -5.4C at 07.41 on Tuesday being 7.2C below the average and the coldest night since 25th January.
Under the very high barometric pressure it was not surprising to have a dry, sunny day with the UV of 1.4 the highest since 30th October but classed as ‘Low’.
Tuesday arrived with clear skies that produced the intense cold but a fog bank could be seen to the north, edging in from the Thames Valley. This closed in on Marlborough by 07.45, but not totally. Half an hour later it had retreated to whence it came, as the sun began to climb and shine strongly.
The area of high pressure currently extends from mid-Atlantic to Russia that continues to bring dry and still conditions. Yesterday the maximum air movement, cannot call it a wind gust, was just 9mph.
The soil temperature at a depth of 5cm has fallen to 0.7C at 08.00 from 7.0C on the third as the intense cold seeps back into the ground.
