The temperature lifted a little on Wednesday compared to previous days with a maximum of 13.4C at 13.49 in variable sunshine under the high pressure system centred over the UK with a peak pressure of 1036.8mb at 08.00 today, Thursday. The effect of this anticyclone was also to bring little wind with a peak gust of just 14mph but there were times when the wind fell out entirely.
A chilly night was to follow with a minimum of 0.9C at 03.54, briefly giving a ground frost, but by 08.00 Thursday the thermometer had lifted to 6.6C under the influence of sunshine through broken cloud.
