Friday brought us another dull, gloomy and damp day with the fog and later mist existing all day.
However,at 16.15 the humidity began to fall. We have had 99% and 100% humidity for five days so it was welcome to see the level of moisture in the air beginning to drop so that by 06.30 on Saturday it had dropped to 88%. The fog has disappeared but we still have the low, thick cloud.
The other significant change was in the wind speed. It still came from a northeasterly direction but began to pick up in speed after so many days with very light winds or total calm. A gust of 21mph was recorded at 05.24 on Saturday.
The thermometer varied little between the maximum of 5.6C at 19.00 and minimum of 3.8C at 06.38 on Saturday.
The barometric pressure has been falling again, still relatively high, with a reading of 1023.2mb at 08.00, Saturday, a drop of 8mb since Thursday’s peak.
