What a gloomy day Saturday was? There was thick cloud for almost all the day and brief drizzle mid-morning amounting to 0.1mm. Early evening the sun briefly broke through with strong sunshine for just over 10 minutes.
With no sunshine it was not surprising that the maximum was depressed with a peak of 20.6C, which was 2C below the July average.
Overnight the thick cloud kept the temperature up giving an exceptionally mild night when the thermometer did not drop below 16.8C.
Brief sunshine just before the readings were taken at 08.00 meant that the temperature had risen again to 17.9C
