Milder again

Both maximum by day and minimum by night were above average with 11.2C (+0.7C) and 6.8C (+4.4C) respectively due to the continuing southerly breeze. The wind has been quite brisk with a maximum gust of 32mph on Saturday at 15.46 and 30mph in the early hours of Sunday.

The rainfall that began just before midnight amounted to 4.5mm bringing the monthly total 26.2mm being 45% of the 38-year average.

Sunday provided the occasional very brief burst of sunshine but was predominantly cloudy with the thermometer having recovered to 7.8C at 08.00.

Due to the depression currently centred off the north west cast of Northen Ireland the wind continues from the south or southeast direction.
