A maximum of 27.6C was logged at 17.52 on Wednesday, therefore, Marlborough has experienced a meteorological heatwave as three consecutive days with maxima above the 27C threshold have occurred, namely 27.8C, 28.6C and 27.7C respectively. The peak of 29.8C was recorded on Saturday but not consecutive with the last three days.
The past night gave us a minimum just above the 39-year average (+0.6C) with a low of 10.7C.
Thursday arrived with strong sunshine again that lifted the temperature to 18.9C at 08.00.
The high pressure system stretching from Scandinavia to the UK has intensified by 3mb since yesterday, a pressure reading of 1020.8mb at 08.00 was the highest since Wednesday. This increase combined with a slight reposition has meant the breeze has backed a few more degrees from principally north yesterday to northeast today.
