The maximum of 5.3C on Tuesday was still 1.7C below average although it was the warmest day since the 20th. The many hours of sunshine saw the UV level rise a fraction again to 0.9, not seen since 18th November.
During the evening the temperature began to slowly fall away reaching a minimum of -5.5C at 00.41 early on Wednesday. The temperature fall then began to reverse and climb to reach -1.3C at 08.00 on Wednesday.
Wednesday dawned grey with fog initially limiting visibility to 400m but varying.
The high pressure is beginning to relinquish its hold with a consequent fall in pressure. As a result, the air movement that has been coming from the northeast or east has also made an about turn and will come from the southwest or west later this morning.
