The warm weather continued yesterday with 1.35 hours of intermittent strong sunshine that pushed the peak temperature to 19.6C just after 4pm, again well above average. The UV level rose again to the ‘Very High’ level peaking with a reading of 8.4 at 13.27, when the sun is at its peak at this time of the year.
It was not a totally dry day as a sharp shower, amounting to 0.2mm, started just before 11am. The breeze picked up in the afternoon with peak gusts to 18mph.
It was another warm night when the thermometer fell to its lowest point at 04.50 with a minimum of 11.4C, but recovered by the time readings were taken at 08.00 to 14.1C.
This morning has dawned with no sunshine due to thick clouds totally obscuring the sky but particularly noticeable is the total absence of any air movement at the time readings were taken.
With one day to go this month it is proving to have been a very warm month being almost 1.6C above the longterm average and the warmest for several years.
LATEST (14.40) Warmest May since my records began in 1984
