Our yo-yo weather continues with alternate days of dry then wet and windy weather. Monday brought us 5.1 hours of sunshine and a dry day under the influence of a temporary ridge of high pressure that lifted the temperature just above average with a peak of 8.1C.
The sky was initially clear overnight allowing a brief air frost to form with the thermometer falling away to -0.6C at 01.03 early on Tuesday morning. Then cloud began to filter in from the next advancing weather front.
At 08.06 on Tuesday the rain began to fall again with the wind having begun to rise after 02.15 as the barometric pressure fell lower again with the thermometer reading 7.4C.
