Although the wind in the morning was from the south west, as the depression approached it veered into the south east by early evening and by Thursday morning was coming from the north.
Yet another below average day and night with a maximum of 8.3c (-1.8C) and a minimum that occurred at 07.38 Thursday morning of 1.1C (2.7C).
