Monday revealed a cloudy start to the day but just before 07.00 the cloud began to thin and clear with strong sunshine from 07.25 lifting the temperature to 14.7C at 08.00 thanks to a temporary ridge of high pressure, which has risen 7mb since Saturday morning. However, shortly after 08.00 cloud could be seen easing towards us from the north that by 08.25 had totally obscured the sun.
