Friday saw the thermometer rise steadily to a maximum of 13.7C at 14.45 under the influence of nine hours of continuous sunshine. This was 6.5C above average and the warmest day since 24th October.
Initially overnight, the thermometer fell away to 6.3C at 01.10 but advancing cloud from the next weather front meant that this was reversed so that by 08.00 today, Saturday, the thermometer read 9.7C, the warmest morning in two months.
Saturday has arrived with thick, low could giving misty conditions with very little movement of the air.
