The thermometer slowly rose to a maximum of 16.4 during the late on the afternoon at 16.04. This peak was just below the average for early May. During the evening and overnight the warmth slowly ebbed away until a minimum of 6.4C was reached at 00.51 on Sunday morning, which was also just below the 36-year average. At this time cloud began to spread in ahead of another weather front.
