Rain overnight means total now above average

Wednesday gave us a warm and dry day but with minimal sunshine, just 18 minutes. However, the maximum was very close to the average at 18.4C.

Increasing cloud after lunch meant the first light rain fell just after 2.30pm with the bulk of the 6.9mm falling during the evening. The total for September is now 64.8mm, which is 3.3mm above the 33-year average.

A much breezier day with the wind picking up as the rain-band passed during the evening with a gust to 21mph, the strongest gust for a week.

A bright and calm start to today after another mild night with a minimum of 12.2C, that is 3C above the average.
