The thermometer did make a surprising drop in the early hours with a low of 4.8C at 02.58 early Monday, however, this was still 2.3C above my long-term average. The rain ceased shortly before 08.30 adding just 0.4mm to the monthly total now standing at 51.3mm, being 84% of my 40-year average.
Monday arrived with glorious sunshine that broke through just before 07.00, that by 08.00 had lifted the temperature to 9.4C. The flow of warm air will continue for a couple of days brought on a light southwesterly breeze, being predominantly dry.
