Almost the first dry day in March – but not quite!

There was a brief shower on Monday afternoon, amounting to 0.1mm, so we have yet to have a totally dry day in March.

The westerly winds had moderated with a maximum gust of 15mph, although this did temper the temperature that reached a maximum of 9.2C, which was 1.1C below average.

Cloud overnight meant a mild night with a minimum of 6.3C at 00.33 Tuesday morning that dawned with thick cloud and misty conditions.

The sunshine recorded has been malfunctioning for a few days so I have removed all that data for March.

Update on Tuesday at 17.40: temperature returns above average with a maximum of 12.3C (+2C) in light winds, peaking at just 11mph
