Almost a dry day on Monday!

Although Monday was still very breezy, winds gusting to 30mph, it was almost a dry day. There were a couple of very light showers amounting to 0.3mm.

As Storm Dennis relinquished its hold on the UK we enjoyed 3.2 hours of sunshine and the UV level easing upwards again – still low at this time of year.

Monday was a mild day with the thermometer rising to a maximum of 10.0C being 2.5C above the 35-year average. Modest cloud cover meant a mild night with the thermometer not sinking below 3.6C, which was 2.3C above the average.

Tuesday saw bright sunshine after dawn as the sun tried to get through thin high cloud but thankfully the south westerly wind has moderated again.

Update on Tuesday at 16.00: dry, sunny morning followed by lines of moderate showers in the afternoon driven on by blustery south westerly winds gusting to 29mph. Another mild day with a maximum of 9.4C, being almost 2C above average.
