The contrast between Tuesday and Wednesday was quite marked. The maxima of both days respectively was 17.1C and 21.7C and sunshine hours of 1.64 and 13.08 hours.
Wednesday returned daytime temperatures above the average by 1C, which was a welcome 5C higher than the peak on Tuesday. Although not quite wall to wall sunshine it was a very sunny day. The UV level edged up to the ‘Very High’ level.
The northeasterly wind, as a result of being squeezed between high pressure to the north and low pressure over the continent was, although fresh, a little less strong with a peak of 17mph.
A mild night followed with the thermometer not falling below 11.7C being 2C above average and 4C higher than the minimum on Tuesday.
Wednesday arrived with thick cloud and at 08.00, when readings were taken, the influence of the nearby depression over the continent was seen as a brief, very light shower occurred.
Thursday update at 13.00: light rain has been falling for the past 20 minutes.
