The persistent north-easterly winds continue to produce dry days with copious sunshine. Although the brisk winds, up to 20mph, take the edge of the temperature, the last two days have peaked at 5C above the average for April.
The rainfall total remains at 6.6mm but the total evaporation of moisture into the atmosphere from ground and water surfaces, also plant life, is now in excess of 50mm.
The total hours of strong sunshine for April is now 128 hours with the solar energy on the 20th being the highest value since the end of July 2014. Yesterday there were 13.74 hours of string sunshine. The UV levels this past week have been at the moderate level.
