The cloudy start to Sunday meant a cooler day with the maximum of 14.9C occurring shortly after midday at 13.29 being exactly average for late October. There was some brightness in the afternoon that did not add to the warmth. Overnight a warm front brought more cloud hence the minimum of 10.2C occurred at 00.01 following which cloud rolled in again from a warm weather front that meant the thermometer reversed and rose slowly to reach 11.4C at 08.00 Monday.
Monday brought variable sunshine shortly after sunrise through brief gaps in the cloud. Two more weather fronts will cross the country on Monday on a southwesterly breeze, which will mean a predominantly cloudy day with the possibility of light showers.In fact a showery band was shown on the rain radar at 08.00 passing over Bath reaching diagonally over Swindon and heading our way, but doesn’t look too threatening.
A high pressure is developing in mid-Atlantic that is forecast to spread eastwards over the UK mid-week. This is likely to bring cloudy, moist air but relatively calm conditions with possible fog or mist in the very light breeze.
