Sunday saw the rain start in earnest just after 9am and continue for almost seven hours producing a total of 18.8mm of precipitation, which made it the wettest day since 24th May. This brought the August rainfall total to 60.9mm, almost 6mm below the 34-year average.
With rain for much of the day and thick cloud it was not surprising that the temperature was 7C below the average with a reading of 13.3C. However, as the cloud thinned late afternoon and a little brightness arrived, but no sunshine, it raised the maximum to 17.8C, which was still 3C below average.
It was a windy day with a peak gust of 27mph at 13.03 coming from the south. Late afternoon the wind veered into the west again as the weather front moved away to the east.
A minimum of 11.9C was recorded overnight, being almost average for late August, as the cloud cover persisted.
Monday arrived with the cloud persisting, but thinning, as brief, very weak sunshine was in evidence when readings were take at 08.00.
Update at 15.15: brisk westerlies, peak gust of 18mph, peg back warmth to maximum of 18.6C. A dry day after the deluge on Sunday.
Summer rainfall, with four days to go, stands at 91mm when 34-year average is currently 182mm, so just 50% of long-term average.
