After a foggy start on Sunday, with visibility down to 100m, by 09.00 the visibility had improved markedly to 1,000m. The morning brought hazy sunshine that broke through strongly after midday. The thermometer struggled to reach a maximum of 3.8C, which was 3.2C below average.
Maximum movement of air was just 8mph, which cannot be called a gust of wind.
There were 5.2 hours of strong sunshine and the UV level was again the highest for the month at 0.7.
It was another dry day with the January rainfall total of 8.1mm being just 9% of the 34-year average or 83mm below.
Monday arrived with misty conditions and still air under the high pressure after an air frost early in the morning as the thermometer dropped to a minimum of -1.1C at 00.53. By 08.00 the temperature had risen back above zero again with a reading of 1.4C.
Update on Monday at 15.00: another cold day when the maximum was below average with a peak reading of 4.4C (2.6C below). Again little air movement under the high pressure, which is beginning to slip away, with a gust of only 10mph during daylight hours.
