The very welcome sunshine on Monday, especially during the morning, lifted the thermometer to 14.3C, this was 3.7C above my 40-year average and the seventh consecutive warm day with peaks well above average, thanks to the flow of moist, warm air brought on a predominantly southwesterly air stream. The peak was logged at 13.38 before the sun became intermittent and cloud built up again. The low of 9.4 wa recorded jus after midnight at 00.04 being a significant 6.9C above the long-term average.
Tuesday revealed another damp and dull day with very low cloud masking the high ground and producing intermittent light drizzle. These conditions are due to three weather fronts crossing our area that are not very active, just bringing the depressing, low cloud and misty conditions. The barometric pressure has varied little over the past three days with a reading of 1014.0mb at 08.00
