Thursday brought us another day with thick cloud and high humidity but very mild. The thermometer reached a maximum of 10.5C, which was 2.7C above the 33-year average. Not surprisingly, there was no sun but a slight brightening around lunchtime for a few minutes temporarily lifted the gloom.
Rainfall was recorded just after 2am this morning amounting to 3.3mm that brings the total for December to 56mm, which is well below the long-term average of 89.4mm for December.
It was another very mild night with the thermometer not dropping below 9.2C, which was a significant 7.3C above the 33-year average. This gave us a variation of only 1.3C between day and night temperatures.
This morning is a repeat of the two previous days with thick cloud cover although with a slightly higher base thus no hill fog at 08.00.
