The depressing monotony of successive cloudy, dreary days continued on Sunday. However, the continuous cloud cover meant anther mild day and night on Sunday. The maximum of 11.6C at midnight was 1.3C above my 40-year average whilst the minimum of 9.4C at 07.01 early on Monday was 5.4C above average.
The cloud was so dense on Sunday whilst the sun is weak, no UV light triggered the UV receptor, the first occasion since 23rd January 2024. Once again the diurnal range of temperatures, the difference between day and night extremes, was just 2.2C.
Monday revealed no change in our weather. We are still under the influence of the high pressure system acting as a dome trapping underneath it the relatively mild, moist air, with minimal air movement. What air movement there is will be from the east or southeast.
