Another mild day yesterday with a maximum of 9.0C and almost three hours of strong sunshine.

The wind picked up late morning yesterday producing a maximum gust of 26mph just at 13.32.
Since midnight the barometer has been dropping, which heralds another change in the weather with thick cloud moving in from the west but with little wind at the moment.
The rainfall total so far this month is 16.3mm, which is just 18% of the long-term mean. The forecast rainfall today will be welcomed as the winter so far has been very dry, evidenced by the very low flow in the River Og and River Kennet.
