The ridge of high pressure on Monday gave us a dry day with the wind very light in comparison to previous days. The air movement in the afternoon changed from a northerly quadrant to south.
Temperatures by day and night were above with maximum of 11.7C (+1.2C) and 4.1C (+1.7C).
Tuesday revealed a leaden sky with light winds from a southerly quadrant with a few spots of rain, not measurable, between 07.30 and 08.00. A deep depression approaching the UK from mid-Atlantic will bring more rain as the day progresses which will increase the monthly rainfall total from its current 185% of the 39-year average. By today 108.7mm has fallen in March making it the third wettest I have recorded since the station was set up in 1984.
