After a dull and damp start to Tuesday the late afternoon sunshine lifted the thermometer to 22.1C at 16.12, which was just 0.7C above my 40-year average. The clearer skies overnight meaner a cooler night than the last two nights that saw the thermometer drop to 9.7C being 2.1C below my average. The UV level of 6 was still in the High category.
Wednesday dawned bright with sunshine and a clear blue sky but the depression just off the coast of Scotland is likely to throw variable cloud across the region as the day progresses. After the cold front crossed yesterday we are in a cooler and drier air for the time being. The humidity of 87% at 08.00 was the lowest since the 1st.
