Sunday was best forgotten due to the continuous low, thick cloud that brought occasional short drifts of drizzle in the morning, not measurable, but recorded as a trace. However, the thermometer climbed to a maximum of 8.2C, which was the first above average day (+1.2C) since the 14th.
The overnight minimum of 4.0C was also above average (+2.7C), the frost since the 16th.
Monday, thankfully, began much brighter than previous days with minimal, thin cloud. The barometric pressure has continued to ease downwards with a reading of 1027.1mb at 08.00, still relatively high, under the ridge extending from the west.
