Ex tropical storm Ernesto still affecting us

Saturday started gloomy with thick low cloud and stayed that way all day. There was an hour or two in the morning with drizzle, thanks to ex tropic storm Ernesto, that was a nuisance but only produced 0.2mm of precipitation.

There very brief glimpses of the sun during the afternoon but limited to just 17 minutes in total.

An interesting aside is to note that the maxima of the last three days are almost identical with 20.3C, 20.3C and 20.4C.

The remnants of ex tropical storm Ernesto was the cause of the overcast and damp day on Saturday and also continuing to affect us on Sunday, which arrived again with overcast skies, low cloud and light drizzle.

Due to the cloud and wind, which got quite strong during Saturday afternoon gusting to 21mph, the temperature maximum was below average (-0.3) but conversely, a mild night followed with a 15.9C minimum, which was 4.4C above average.

Update at 17.15: effects of ex-tropical storm Ernesto felt all day with the temperature rising 2.7C above average with a maximum of 23.4C at 14.03 combined with high humidity of 73% compared to 40% often last month.
