The change from the persistent north-easterlies to southerlies yesterday has made such a difference to our weather. Gone are the strong, dry winds now replaced by warmer, balmier air. The maximum yesterday was 15.6C however the thermometer dropped little overnight to a minimum of 10.2C. At 08.00 the thermometer read 10.9C, the warmest morning since 29th October. As a consequence of this warmer air, especially at night,the ground temperature at a depth of 5cm has risen to 10.1C. Gardeners can think of possible planting if the temperature at this depth maintains at least 6C. Although there were only 1.7 hours of strong sunshine yesterday it produced the highest solar energy since 9th September
There were light rain showers late evening last night that amounted to 2.7mm bringing the total for March to 48.5mm, a little below the average of 57.7mm
