Although there was no sunshine on Tuesday at least it was a dry day thanks to the drier air brought on a brisk northeasterly wind gusting to a peak of 21mph. The warm front to the south west threw cloud over southern England but the sporadic rain kept to the west of our region.
The temperatures by day and night were below the 35-year average with a maximum of 9.8C (-4.9C) and 6.2C (-1.0C).
Wednesday saw an improvement at dawn as the main edge of the cloud from the weather front was just to the south, rather than just to the north of the area, so hazy sunshine greeted the new day.
