The second day of meteorological summer gave us just 2 minutes of strong sunshine although the thermometer rose to its highest at 12.52 as increasing cloud obscured the occasional weak sunshine during the afternoon. The maximum of 21.9C was 2C above the 33-year average.
There were a couple of light showers early evening and again just after midnight, only amounting to 0.7mm.
It was a warm night with a minimum 1.2C above average, much later than has been the case recently, of 11.0C just before 7am.
This morning has dawned with strong sunshine shortly after the sun rose. The difference over recent mornings is the much lower humidity with a reading of 80% instead of the mid to high 90’s at 08.00 as the wind has now veered from a southerly direction into the west.
