Sunday was a predominantly cloudy day with occasional showers that amounted to another 1.6mm.
The September rainfall total now stands at 101.1mm being 40mm above the 35-year average but far from the wettest I have recorded. There have been six wetter Septembers since 1984 when this station started with the wettest bringing 131.9mm in 2006.
Temperatures by day and night were depressed due to the cloudy skies. The peak daytime temperature was 17.7C, being 0.9C below average and overnight the thermometer dropped to 8.9C (-0.3C).
The notable feature on Sunday was the wind which became very gusty as the low pressure eased away to the east that caused the wind to veer from the south in the early morning to west and late afternoon into the north west. The strongest gust was 31mph at 17.30. This was the strongest gust since 10th August when 38mph was recorded.
Monday arrived initially with a little brightness but thick cloud soon obscured the sun however, the wind has dropped out with barely a movement of the air.
