The unstable weather was with us all day on Saturday with rain or drizzle continuing all day and into the evening. As a result no direct or global sunshine was recorded. However, as the wind backed from the northwest into the southwest, a warmer air stream, the temperature slowly recovered throughout the day peaking at 11.6C just after midnight being 7.9C above the average.
The many hours of precipitation amounted to just 3.7mm taking the monthly total to 31.0mm when the average is 89.8m.
Sunday arrived with similar weather, the cloud heavy and low with rain just after dawn and more to come throughout the day. The thermometer at 08.00 read 11.6C.
The wind will continue to come from the southwest on Sunday due to a deep low pressure system just to the west of Ireland bringing in more moist but warm air from the Atlantic.
