Sunday was dry but yet again was gloomy with thick cloud cover. The temperature varied little during daylight hours reaching a maximum of only 4.5C, which was 6.1C below the average. During the evening the thermometer began to show a change as any warmth began to seep away so that a minimum of 0.9C was logged at 23.45, which was 1.5 C below the average. Thereafter, cloud began to return with two linked showers arriving at 05.05 and lasting for 40 minutes, but light, just producing 1.0mm of precipitation, the first since 24th February.
Monday was a little brighter start to the day but still total cloud cover, although higher and thinner.
A depression developed between the UK and Norway yesterday that is beginning to sink southwards which will result in the wind backing from the north, as yesterday, into the west today. The barometric pressure has fallen away as the anticyclone left the area and the depression arrived so that the reading at 08.00 was 1008.3mb, the lowest pressure since 19th January.
