Warmest night in seven months

The sun returned on Saturday with 5.7 hours that, with the warmer air from the near continent, boosted the thermometer to a maximum of 23.3C being 6.5C above the 34-year average.

It was a dry day with gusting northeasterly winds up to a maximum of 27mph followed by a dry night.

With the thermometer falling no lower than 13.4C overnight, due to the thick cloud, it was the warmest night since 16th October.

Sunday has arrived with predominantly thick cloud cover with just the occasional glimpse of brightness however rain has started to fall, briefly, as I write this at 08.16.
