The many hours of rain from Storm Noa, combined with a southeasterly breeze for much of the day meant a cold day, the coldest since 11th March. The thermometer struggled to reach 8.7C, which was a significant 5.4C below the 39-year average.
Another 5.2mm of rainfall took the monthly total 52.4mm, just 4mm short of the 39-year average for April.
Late in the afternoon the wind began to back slowly from southeast to north.
The last night was cool with a low of 3.6C at 06.41 on Saturday, just below the average.
Saturday brought us welcome sunshine to start the day but by 08.10 variable cloud had drifted across and began to obscure the sun. With the depression now over the Continent the barometric pressure has been rising to read 1017.2mb at 08.00, a rise of 15mb since this time yesterday that should give us a dry day if not hours of sunshine.
