The total precipitation was 6.2mm.
The clear sky overnight saw the thermometer sink to 0.9C at 06.13 early Friday, which was 2.7C below the 39-year average. The low temperature after the showers meant radiation fog occurred in the River Og valley, the western end clearing just before 08.00 but at the eastern end thickened and not cleared until just before 08.30.
