As the anticyclone intensived over this area the cloud yesterday did thin a little but not enough to allow any sunshine to break through. The rising barometric pressure did influence the temperature with a maximum of only 4.6C at 14.53 yesterday, which is 2C below the mean. After that time the thermometer very slowly began to fall until reaching a low of -2.4C just before sunrise. There was very little movement of the air trapped underneath the high pressure with the strongest at 8mph during the whole day, with many hours when there was not enough to activate the anemometer.
This morning the barometer is reading 1038.3mb, the highest reading for three weeks. There is hazy sunshine at sunrise breaking through the thin upper layer of cloud.
