Although the morning on Sunday was dry after a sunny start, rain began to fall, lightly at first, after 13.00 but eventually amounted to 6.9mm. That took the monthly total to 116.9mm, which is 201% of the 39-year average and the second wettest I have recorded since the station was set up in 1984 when 127.2mm was recorded in 2007.
Once again the maximum of 18.9C was below average (-4.0C) but the minimum of 15.8C was 3.9C above the average thanks to the warm, moist air from the Atlantic.
Monday dawned dull and wet as the remains of the rain band sauntered eastwards.
