Friday was another day in the succession of wet, gloomy days that have been so frequent in November. The thermometer did rise a little higher than previous days with a maximum of 8.3C but that was still 1.8C below average.
After a wet morning the afternoon was a little drier but further rain fell in the early hours of Saturday although the daily total was only 2.8mm. This moved the rainfall total for autumn from fifth to fourth highest since this station started in 1984.
Saturday started with thick cloud and light rain but a little milder with a temperature at 08.00 of 8.1C being the warmest start to the day since 5th November. A depression centred over the Bay of Biscay is slowly rotating anticlockwise, as they do, throwing up much cloud and frequent showers.
