Saturday was a depressing day with the rain that started after midnight continuing into the late morning followed by drizzle off and on, producing just 1.5mm of precipitation. However, there was a much brighter interlude for a time around midday when the cloud thinned and it became brighter, if for a short time. The southerly airstream and thick cloud meant that it was the warmest day this month with a maximum of 11.6C. It was only the second day this month without sunshine.
Just before 4pm, as the weather front departed to the east, the wind started to veer from the south into the north and the temperature slowly began to fall, giving a minimum of 4C, recovering to 4.7C at 08.00. This caused mist to form in the Og Valley.
Due to a temporary ridge of high pressure the barometer at 08.00 was reading 1026.2mb, the highest this month. There is thin high cloud allowing a watery sun to try and break through.
