Windrush Weather

Typical April – sun but only one shower

Wednesday brought us typical April weather with sunshine, amounting to 6.74 hours, and variable cloud although only one shower occurred, which produced just 0.1mm of rainfall as the main shower bands passed to the north and south of this area.

It was the coolest day since 15th April with a maximum of only 13.7C, just below average. There was a strong gust of wind, reaching 28mph as the squall passed over.

Clearer skies overnight meant a cooler night with the thermometer falling to a minimum of 5.7C, down a degree on yesterday, although this had recovered to 8.9C at 08.00 this morning.

The cooler westerly wind continues this morning with strong sun after dawn that with a higher barometric pressure suggests less cloud during the day before the next weather front arrives this evening.
