The clear blue skies and sunshine (4.8 hours) on Monday continued under the influence of the intense high pressure. The daytime temperature slowly rose just above average with a maximum of 7.4C but there followed the coldest night of the winter with a minimum of -3.7C just before dawn on Tuesday under clear skies as there was no duvet of cloud to minimise the loss of residual warmth into the atmosphere.
The calm conditions continued with hours of calm and a maximum lone gust of 10mph. The UV level was again giving a peak of 0.7, the highest this month
Dawn on Tuesday saw variable fog combined with the hard frost but there was evidence of the sun trying to break through.
