Only fifth dry day this month

Wednesday was another overcast and cool day with below temperatures by day and night. The maxima was 17.6C (-2.8C) and the minimum was 8.3C (-1.8C).

Thankfully Wednesday was a dry day, the fifth this month. However, the air was very humid measuring 83% for most of the day when in June it is often down to 40% or lower. It was another calm day with the strongest gust late in the day of just 12mph, but then coming from the west, when measurable.

Thursday saw the sun shine from dawn although by 08.00 variable cloud had begun to appear. The barometric pressure has begun to slowly rise indicating an improvement in the weather as a high pressure system edges in from the west.

Update on Thursday at 18.20: temperature eases upwards to a maximum of 18.9C but still 1.3C below average. UV level returns to ‘very high’ category.
