Thursday day and night were cooler than Wednesday with a high of 7.1C being 1C below average with the low of 3.9C being 1.4C above average.
Friday didn’t dawn as it was very dark and dull under a very thick, low blanket of cloud from the next weather front. Rain drops were observed at 06.15 but measurable rainfall did not been until 07.10 with 1.9mm by 08.00.
The barometric pressure has dropped to its lowest this month with a reading of 993.1mb at 08.00 with the pressure continuing to fall rapidly. In fact it is the lowest pressure since 16th November. This very low pressure is due to a deep depression migrating from off the coast of Ireland to northwest Scotland with a current reading of 967mb, so our local pressure will continue to fall this morning.
