During the brief spells of weak sunshine on Tuesday the thermometer rose to 14.4C, exactly the same as on Monday being a significant 3.3C above the long-term average. The wind from the southwest or south-southwest was strong on occasions with a maximum gust of 40mph at 12.33 making it the strongest gust since 21st February.
Another 6.9mm of precipitation was added to the total for November now standing at 45.3mm being 50% of the long-term average in the first week of the month.
It has been a cooler night than of late but the minimum of 9.1C was still a significant 5.4C above the average.
Wednesday started dull but just after 08.15 weak sunshine broke through the small breaks in the cloud. The wind has fallen very light overnight, around 5 – 7mph at 08.00. The air flow today has a more westerly component so the run of showers are arriving in a slightly different direction to previous days running just to the north of Marlborough.
