The air on Tuesday came from an easterly direction, a direction not seen for almost two months. The cooler air meant less warmth, after the fog eventually cleared, with a maximum of 16.9C, still 2.3C above the 38-year average.
The cloud cover meant a mild night with a minimum of 11.6C being 4.3C above the average.
The rainfall total of 21.8mm is now overtaken by the equivalent loss of rainfall through evaporation from the ground and plant life, that so far totals 23mm. The monthly total is 24% of the long-term average. Is this going to be another below average rainfall month being over half way through October?
