Friday was a gloomy, cold and wet day with another 7mm of rainfall bringing the total for November to 76.2mm or 83% of the 35-year average. The total rainfall for autumn now stands at 340.7mm, the fifth wettest since the station started in 1984.
Due to the brisk, sometimes strong, wind from the north it was not surprising to find that it was a cold day with the maximum of 6.8C being 3.3C below average. However, there was a wind chill that meant it felt at least 2C below the recorded temperature.
Not only was it the fourth day in November without any recorded sunshine but no measurable UV was recorded, the first no UV day since 1st February.
The cloud overnight meant that the thermometer dropped just 2.5C with a minimum of 4.3C, which was 0.5C above average.
Saturday saw a little brightness after dawn but a mainly cloudy sky obscured any prolonged, strong sunshine.
