There was some weak sunshine in the early evening. As a result of the cloud the thermometer only rose to 14.3C, but this was still marginally above average although 4C down on the Monday peak.
The cloud overnight meant a very mild night with the thermometer not sinking below 9.6C, which was 5.9C above the average and the warmest night since 31st December.

A ridge of high pressure has been slowly building with the reading at 08.00 of 1013.9mb, up 10mb at this time on Tuesday.
