With the anticyclone over the UK resulting in high pressure on Saturday we enjoyed a day that brought 12.6 hours of sunshine. This boosted the temperature to a maximum of 22.2C, the third warmest day in June after 25.6C and 22.3C on the 1st and 2nd respectively. This peak was exactly 2C above average.
A mild night followed with the thermometer not falling below 11.4C, which was 1.3C above average and only the second occasion in June when both the maximum and minimum were above average. There was a significant variation between the two consecutive nights with a difference of 7C.
Sunday morning dawned with much cloud obscuring the sun as the cloud, in advance of the next weather front, began to edge in front the Atlantic with the recent high pressure sadly moving off into the North Sea. By 08.00 the the thermometer had eased upwards to 13.3C as limited bright periods emerged through the cloud cover with the barometric pressure having fallen by 4mb to 1017.1mb. There is a notable cool breeze, now blowing from the east, making the early morning feel quite fresh.
