UV level rises into the ‘high’ category

Sunday saw the UV level rose to a peak 5.3, which was in the ‘high’ category, last reached on the 12th September. The numerous hours of strong sunshine meant another very warm day with the thermometer reaching a maximum of 23.6C, which was 9.6C above average and the warmest day since 3rd September.

The night following was not quite so cold as previous nights with the thermometer falling no lower than 5.1C at 05.52 Monday morning, which was 1C above average.

The air movement on Sunday morning, after a calm night, was from the north east. However, just after 14.00 I noticed the anemometer veering quite quickly into the south west.

Monday arrived with hazy sunshine as the result of thin high cloud due to a change in the weather as the barometric pressure has fallen away significantly, now reading 1007.2mb at 08.00 after a high of 1031.1mb on the 20th.
