Tuesday was another cloudy but exceedingly mild day. The maximum of 17.8C was exactly the same as on Saturday and Monday being 3.2C above the average. The thermometer did not drop below 15.3C last night, which was 8.0C above the 38-year average.
Tuesday was also mainly dry although in my record I noted that a trace of precipitation was observed. On three occasions very brief, light drizzle showers passed over the area but never enough to dampen the pavement or measurable. The wind was quite brisk, gusting to 25mph on one occasion, and from the southwest.
Wednesday dawned very dull and slowly under a cover of thick cloud with the wind backing a little into the south and already quite gusty.
