After almost a week under the low pressure system to the west it finally moved off to the east with a consequent change in our weather. The wind backed into the northwest, not seen for a month, and a dry day. The wind was lighter and with strong sunshine in the afternoon the thermometer rose to 20.4C, which was 1.5C above the average.
It was a mild night with the temperature no lower than 12.0C being 2.7C above the average due to cloud cover. At 04.06 a small shower passed over producing 0.6mm of rain. Most of the evidence of this had disappeared shortly after dawn as broken sunshine greeted the new day.
Due to the departure of the depression the barometric pressure has been rising with a reading of 1015.4mb at 08.00, up 10mb in the past twenty-four hours.
