Record broken again

Tuesday saw the February maximum record broken again as the thermometer rose to a peak of 18.2C at 14.48, which was 11.1C above average and up 0.5C on the Monday record.

It was another totally dry day with 9.91 hours of sunshine, the sunniest day since 9th October.

With no cloud cover overnight to provide a duvet that would restrict heat loss into the atmosphere, the thermometer again fell below zero with a minimum of -0.8C at 07.01 today.

Wednesday morning is a re-run of the last three days as the sun began to shine strongly when it rose above the horizon.

Update on Wednesday at 15.20: another very warm day with wall to wall sunshine producing a maximum of 17.5C. Although this was 0.7C down on the record breaking Tuesday maximum it was still 10.4C above average.
