With a very slack air movement on Tuesday, predominantly from the south west, the thermometer crept above the average maximum with a peak of 9.1C (+1.1C).
The barometric pressure is slowly falling after the highest reading for three months. However, it is still in charge giving 3.8 hours of sunshine on Tuesday and clearer skies with little or no wind overnight resulting in an air frost developing with a minimum of -1.7C. This was 3.9C below the average also allowing fog to form that reduced visibility to 100m at dawn on Wednesday.
We have now had thee consecutive dry days under the influence of the high pressure unlike the last two months that started with rain and wind. With a dry day likely on Wednesday that will be the longest dry period since September.
