The thermometer struggled to reach 6.0C on Saturday as the day was mostly grey with low cloud, although there was a very brief sunny period between about 13.00 and 13.40.
The wind continued blowing from the northeast and quite strong at times with a maximum gust of 24mph. As a result windchill was registered for the first time since March that meant outside in the wind it felt more like 3C rather than 6C for most of the day.
The overnight minimum of 2.4C was just below average for early December.
Sunday struggled to dawn under cloud that had thickened overnight and lowered, so a grey, miserable start to the new day.
The wind persists in coming from the northeast for another day so wind chill will be in evidence again. The barometric pressure continues to fall with a reading of 1016.7mb at 08.00, a fall of 14mb since the peak on Thursday, as the intense high pressure over Russia and Scandinavia begins to pull away.
