The modest breeze from the northeast meant Friday was a cooler than on Thursday but a maximum of 18.3C was still 1.2C above the average during the many hours of sunshine. During the afternoon variable cloud drifted down from the north that produced a few spots of rain at 13.25, 15.20 and 16.30 but not measurable, not even to completely cover the surface. Intense rain fell to the east and west of our area.
A low of 5.9C in the early hours of Saturday was 0.9C below the average.
Saturday arrived with blue sky and strong sunshine, however, the continuing breeze from the northeast had strengthened after falling calm overnight.
