The ridge of high pressure was maintained during Wednesday that brought us 8.9 hours of sunshine, a dry day and the UV level into the Very High category again, the highest since 29th July.
Temperatures by day and night were above average with maximum of 22.1C (+1.0C) and minimum of 14.2C (+2.5C), a very mild night.
Thursday after dawn was overcast and dull but slowly the sun burnt through the thin cloud and by 0745 was beginning to shine strongly. As a result the thermometer climbed to 15.8C at 0800, the warmest start to a day at that time since 27th July.
