Gloom and drizzle return on Wednesday

Wednesday saw the anticyclonic gloom arrive with the fog and mist from low cloud taking until almost noon to lift. The intense high-pressure is beginning to slip away allowing moist, warm air from the Atlantic to circulate clockwise around it as the very light breeze, maximum gust of 11mph, veered into the north east.The drizzle produced 0.4mm of precipitation.

The maximum of 7.4C (+0.4C) was just above the January average whilst the warmer air under the cloud cover meant a frost free night with a minimum of 3.4C (+2.3C). Sadly no sunshine after the previous glorious days.

Thursday saw the thick cloud persisting but the cloud base was a little higher.
