With just a glimpse of sun on Wednesday. but mainly cloudy with heavy rain showers. it was not surprising to find the maximum 6.0C was 2C below the average. With the sky again clearing towards evening a brief ground frost set in with a minimum of 0.4C at 00.19 early Thursday morning. However, with cloud once again encroaching from the west the temperature then began to recover so that by 08.00 on Thursday the thermometer read 4.2C
Thursday dawned very dark and wet as the rain began to intensify from the next weather front.
