The lingering effects of the wide and wandering weather front were still affecting our weather on Wednesday that gave a cloudy but mild day.
The thermometer slowly rose above average to a maximum of 15.4C at 13.29, (+0.7C) exactly the same as on Tuesday and then proceeded to fall continuously until reaching a minimum of 8.4C (+1.0C) at 08.00 when endings were taken.
The southerly air flow was replaced late morning by a breeze from the north east and much less cloud overnight produced the lower temperatures. This was the result of high pressure edging in from the west.
Thursday arrived with higher and much less cloud allowing brightness to filter through with the promise of a much better day than previous gloomy days this week.
Update on Thursday at 18.15: light north easterly breeze limits temperature to a maximum of 14.3C, being 0.4C below average, although over 4 hours of sunshine occurred during the afternoon.
