Windrush Weather

Foggy start to Monday

Sunday brought more sunshine than on Saturday, 9.3 hours also a warmer day who a peak temperature of 22.6C, almost average. It was another dry day but due to variable cloud, especially around midday, the UV level fell to high after several days at very high.

A cool and dry night followed with the thermometer falling to 9.2C being 2.6C below average. The result was radiation fog from the moisture condensing in the atmosphere as the temperature fell, not low cloud. The initial visibility was 100m but by 08.00 on Monday the sun, shining brightly after dawn, meant that the fog had evaporated.

With just three days left in July the rainfall total of 35.1mm is 59% of the 35-year average. However, with the barometric pressure beginning to fall in advance of a depression in the south west approaches, rain is expected on Tuesday.
