Dark, Damp, Dismal morning – again!

It was a treat to have a day with almost continuous sunshine yesterday amounting to 5.13 hours, if a little hazy at times. The sunshine pushed the thermometer to 12.0C, almost 4.5C above the mean due to the mild south-easterly breeze peaking at 18mph. The large area of high pressure over the continent is reluctant to give way with a barometric pressure of 1017.8mb at 08.00 hours. This is allowing the mild and moist air from around the Azores to drift across the country.
The minimum temperature occurred at 22.22 hours with a reading of 6.1C when increasing cloud raised this to 9.1C at 08.00 hours. This morning has dawned with low cloud over the hills and dampness in the air but not raining – dark, damp and dismal.
