Windrush Weather

Nine hours of strong sun – another glorious autumnal day on saturday

Saturday was another lovely day, similar to friday, with 9.1 hours of strong sunshine and the maximum of 20.4C, almost 2C above the September average

Combined with little wind from a variable direction and no showers, it was the last of the very warm, dry days for a while.

The lowest temperature of 10.2C was reached at 02.06 this morning as the leading edge of the approaching weather front began to encroach from the west. As a result the temperature began to creep upwards, reaching 12.3C at 08.00

There was a little brightness after dawn but this soon disappeared as the cloud rapidly thickened. The first raindrops from the extensive weather front began to fall at 08.00.
