The glorious sunshine on Sunday lifted the temperature to 22.1C at 15.32 being 0.7C above my 40-year average. It was another dry day under the ridge of high pressure but thin high cloud contained dust particles from the fires burning in North America that reduced the solar energy and UV level, which was moderate.
The past night was chilly as the thermometer dropped away to a low of 7.1C early Monday being 4.7C below average.
Monday dawned with thin, high cloud that blocked out sunshine although bright. The ridge of high pressure is dealing as a depression in the Atlantic approaches.
