Tuesday produced another fine and very sunny day with strong sunshine that saw the thermometer rise just above my 40-year average (+0.3C) with a maximum 19.4C at 15.06. After viewing the ‘super’ moon in a very clear sky during the evening, the brisk northeasterly breeze absorbed moisture from the North Sea producing total cloud cover that drifted across limiting the loss of warmth into the atmosphere so that a minimum of 12.5C was logged in the early hours at 00.07 being 3.9C above my average.
Wednesday arrived with total cloud cover but shortly after 08.00 there were signs that the sun was beginning to thin the cloud with indications of brightness breaking through.
The rate of evaporation from ground sources and plant life for the last two days has meant a loss of equivalent rainfall in excess of 2mm per day with 2.60mm on Tuesday.
The high pressure is still very much in control of our weather and will continue to do so for a few more days with the breeze persisting from a northeast or north-northeasterly direction, at least until the weekend.
