Although Tuesday brought us a little more sunshine than Monday, just 1.6 hours, it did nothing to raise much warmth as the strong northeasterly winds pegged back the temperature to between 11C and 13C for most of the day, only rising to 16.5C late afternoon. This maximum was 3.5C below average.
It was a dry day but due to the lack of sunshine the UV level dropped back to ‘High’.
More cloud drifted in again overnight from the North Sea on the persistent Northeasterly winds, still gusting to 20mph.
It was the coolest night this month with a minimum of 7.8C just after 5am, which was 2C below average.
Wednesday dawned with much cloud and by 08.00 there were glimpses of sun breaking through but no long spells with the thermometer struggling up to 9.8C, the coolest morning for almost a month.
Wednesday update at 17.30: today has been more like summer with a recovery in temperature, maximum of 21.5C, UV at top end of ‘High’ and so far 10 hours of strong sunshine.
