Sunday was another day that started misty but by midday the sky was begin to clear and 6.3 hours of sunshine followed with the UV level into the ‘Very High’ level.

With the strong sunshine the thermometer rose to a peak of 22.6C, being 2.6C above the 34-year average and up 2C on the Saturday maximum.

It was another dry day with evaporation from ground sources and plant life giving the equivalent loss of rainfall of 28mm when actual rainfall in June has only been 2mm.

A slightly cooler night followed under mainly clear skies allowing the thermometer fo fall away to a minimum of 10.7C, still just above average.

On Monday morning the lower temperature and lack of wind in the early hours allowed fog to form with visibility down to 200m at 06.00. This began to thin around 7am with the sun breaking though at 07.47 that lifted the temperature at 08.00 to 14.1C.

Monday update at 17.30: 2nd warmest day in June with a maximum of 24.3C at 16.47, being 4.2C above the 34-year June average. UV Very High again.

Signs of the blocking ‘High’ sliding away, which indicates a change, later in the week, from the settled weather of recent days.
