The northwesterly air stream was much cooler on Friday but the air was much clearer and allowed many hours of sunshine. A maximum of 12.2C was 2.2C above average.
The clear skies overnight saw the temperature drop during the evening with a minimum of 4.4C at 22.11.Thereafter, the advance cloud from the next weather front began to arrive that saw the temperature begin to rise again so that by Saturday at 08.00 the thermometer read 8.6C
There was very limited light rain at 07.30 on Saturday with the wind direction having changed again and coming from the southwest although conditions were calm at 08.00. The previous low-pressure that sat to the north is easing away and this weekend the high pressure system over Iberia will influence the air stream, which will become milder again.
This weekend sees ex-hurricane Martin travelling across the Atlantic, which will determine our weather in the near future.
