The maximum of 19.5C on Monday in the many hours of sunshine was the warmest day since the 8th and 0.4C above my 40-year area after seven consecutive below average maxima. The day was dry, the breeze gusting t 14mph was from the northwest and the UV level Moderate.
Under clear skies overnight the warmth slowly dissipated into the atmosphere with a low of 4.1C at 06.40 early Tuesday, just as the sun was rising. The recent moisture and low temperature produced radiation fog in the River Og valley that had dissipated by 07.15.
The anticyclone is still firmly over the UK with the centre over the North Sea which will continue to feed a breeze from the northeast. The barometric pressure at 08.00 read 1032.7mb, the highest pressure since 2nd February.
