Windrush Weather

Wind change brings temperature change

Early Sunday afternoon the wind slowly veered from the south to the west with the consequence that the very warm air from Iberia was cut off and replaced by much cooler air from the Atlantic.

The temperature reached a maximum of 19.9C, down 3C on Saturday but still 6C above the April average. Overnight the thermometer dropped steadily away to reach a minimum of 8.0C, the coolest night for a week, but also above average by 4.2C.

Sunday was a dry day with 9.86 hours of strong sunshine and the UV level easing a little higher with a reading of 5.8.

Monday has dawned with broken sunshine and the thermometer easing upward to read 9.7C at 08.00.

Monday update at 16.15: westerly winds bring cooler weather with the maximum of 14.8C down 5C on Sunday and 12C below record set last Thursday, but 0.8C above average.
