What a difference a day makes!

After the cool, damp and cloudy day on monday, tuesday gave us a dry and sunny day with 3.7 hours of strong sunshine, which boosted the thermometer to a maximum of 19.6C. This was 1C above the late September average and 4C higher than the peak on monday.

No rain fell so the total this month stands at 57.9mm, which is 3.8mm below the September average.

The ridge of high pressure meant another calm day with a maximum gust of just 10mph.

A mild night followed with the thermometer not dropping below 12.9C.

This morning the Marlborough Downs are draped in low could restricting visibility to 1,000m, an improvement on the 200m early yesterday.
