Thursday morning saw a brief change as overnight Wednesday the north easterly winds brought much cloud cover that meant the sun did not break through fully until just after 10am.
As a result of the cooler start to the day, variable cloud and stronger breezes the thermometer did not soar quite as high as on previous days with a maximum of 25.8C, still 6C above average.
The sunshine duration was also lower with 9.33 hours and although still in the Very High category the UV level was also slightly lower.
Friday morning has again seen the arrival of overnight cloud that by the time readings were taken at 08.00 had started to break up and raise the temperature from a minimum of 12.3C, warmer then previous nights, to 13.8C.
Friday update at 18.30: maximum of 26.3C at 17.41 with UV again at Very High. Low cloud early morning slowly cleared to allow strong sunshine by 09.00, if not continuous at that time, with 12 hours by 18.30.
