Calmest day in a month on Saturday

Under the influence of a ridge of high beginning to develop Saturday was a very calm day with little or at times no wind. The strongest gust was just 9mph. The increasing barometric pressure meant a dry day but the air mass, coming from the north east, was cool limiting the maximum temperature to 7.1C, being 3C below average and the eleventh consecutive below average daytime peak.

It was another day without sunshine, the fifth this month, although the UV just registered.

Overnight the thermometer fell away to a minimum of 0.1C at 04.34 Sunday morning that by 08.00 had lifted slightly to 1.3C.

Sunday saw a little brightness after dawn, but no sunshine, under a mainly cloudy sky. The ridge of high pressure has been building for over twenty-four hours so another dry day is likely.
