Monday was predominantly cloudy but as the day progressed the cloud thinned and broke giving us 1 hour of strong sunshine with the occasional very light shower of rain/drizzle amounting to just 0.4mm.
The temperature slowly rose to a high of 21.1C at 16.57, only the second day in July with a below average maximum, as late afternoon sun emerged.
Another very mild night followed with the thermometer not falling below 14.2C
With the final day of July unfolding, and with the likelihood of little additional rain today, it is interesting to see how dry the last two months have been and how much moisture evaporated into the atmosphere.
June rain: 5.3mm (average 54.5mm) evaporation 111mm
July rain: 25.1mm (average 60.9mm) evaporation 123mm
Update at 20.00: temperature returns above average with a maximum of 23.8C at 15.55.No further rain for July.
