The barometric pressure, which has been rising for the past forty-eight hours, gave us a another respite day from the frequent showers. The reading at 0800 was 1015.2mb, the highest for ten days.
The eight hours of strong sunshine raised the thermometer to a maximum reading of 20.7C at 13.53 before clouds increased. However, due to the westerly breeze this was an average temperature for August. The second dry day this month.
The notable feature yesterday was the UV reading of 8.6, which was in the ‘Very High’ category being the highest for nine days.

There was some welcome sunshine after dawn but by 07.15, much cloud had drifted across on the westerly air movement, little wind at this time.
