The changeable weather continued on Saturday with brighter, drier weather by day but overnight, in the early hours of Sunday, another wide rain band passed over the area.
The thermometer once again rose above average during Saturday in the light southerly air stream to reach 16.7C, being 2.1C above the 39-year average. This was followed by another very mild night when the thermometer did not drop below 13.3C, which was a significant 6.0C above the average due to the thick cloud cover and southerly air stream.
Rain began again just before 03.00 and was very heavy at 07.35 producing another 11.9mm of precipitation. That addition brought the monthly total to 69.9mm, which is still 20mm short of the long-term average.
On Sunday thunder was heard at 06.45 and 07.10 as the extensive rain band moved northwards. Thus the start to the new day was dark and very wet but the rain had almost cleared by 08.10.
