The strong northerly winds yesterday, gusting to 25mph, kept the temperature down to a maximum of 17.1C. There were 4.02 hours of strong sunshine that reduced late afternoon as the cold front arrived from the north. Cloud cover overnight and a continuing slight breeze, meant that we just avoided a ground frost with a minimum of 6.2C.
