Sun returns after much rain

Rain from the second cold front on Thursday morning, that quickly followed the first cold front overnight, arrived just after 08.30 and produced another 6.0mm of rainfall. The total rain from both cold fronts totalled 17.5mm.

By 12.00 the rain had stopped and the cloud started to thin with sun breaking through consistently early afternoon giving us 6.42 hours.

The late sunshine boosted the temperature to 20.3C at 16.31.

A cool night followed with the thermometer falling to 9.9C that produced fog in the River Og valley that had dispersed by 07.00 as the sun got to work raising the temperature to 14.1C at 08.00.

Update at 18.30: another 6 hours of sunshine today brings the total for August to 117 hours, almost the average for the whole of August over the past four years (120 hours). No further rain today.
