Significant wind chill returns

Another day with below temperatures by day and night. Friday saw the thermometer rise to a maximum of only 14.2C, which was 2.9C below average and only occurred late afternoon at 16.33 thanks to a little late sunshine.

It was a windier day with a maximum gust of 20mph in the early hours of Saturday morning (02.08), and from a cool direction, the north west.

Rainfall for past twenty-four hours amounted to 2.7mm.

It was a cold night with the thermometer sinking to 2.9C at 03.42 but stronger winds overnight produced a windchill so that it felt more like 0.8C.

By 08.00 the sun was making brief appearances and the temperature had recovered slightly to 4.2C.
