Warmer air arrives

Under the influence of an air mass brought to us from the south and south east the thermometer rose to 10.1C in late evening, the warmest day in almost three weeks and but only just average for November.

Overnight there were very light showers and drizzle amounting to 0.7mm bringing the monthly total to 89.6mm being exactly 2mm below the 35-year average. The thermometer did not drop below 8.0C, being 4.2C above average.

Monday dawned gloomy with very low cloud obscuring the tops of the Marlborough Downs and Savernake Forest with light drizzle from yet anther weather system.
