Yesterday was the first dry day after sixteen wet days due to the wind now coming from a drier north east. Wind from this direction is cool so it was not surprising that the maximum yesterday, during the daytime, was 7.6C although this rose a little from late afternoon to a maximum of 8.1C in the early hours this morning. This was due to the very strong wind abating slightly from an average 10 minute speed of 13 mph to 10mph with a peak gust of 27 mph just after midnight. The strong winds gave a wind chill factor yesterday in that it felt more like 3C in the afternoon rather than 7C.
The thick cloud, as on several previous days, has returned this morning after the the thinner, higher cloud yesterday.
