The sunshine on Friday almost pushed the thermometer above the average, but not quite, at 22.4C logged at 15.11, it was 0.4C below thanks to the cooler air that arrived behind the cold front. The cooler, drier air also showed in the cooler overnight minimum of 9.8C being 2.1C below my 40-year average.
Yesterday we lost the equivalent of 3.5mm of rainfall through evaporation from ground sources and plant life. The rainfall total for July is 64.2mm, however, the total loss through evaporation now stands at 64.6mm.
Saturday started bright and sunny, however, a warm front is due to cross the area during the day that will bring variable cloud, but it should stay dry.
