As tuesday progressed the wind began to veer from the west into the northwest bringing even colder weather. The maximum was just 6.3C (3.7C below average) but the wind chill meant that this felt more like 4C.
The wind from this direction is much drier giving us a greater amount of sunshine, 5.6 hours yesterday, and no rain. The humidity this morning at 08.00 has dropped from the high 90’s on previous days to 89%.
Overnight the thermometer fell to 0.5C, which was 3.2C below average, and producing a ground frost. It is not surprising to find that the soil temperature at a depth of 5cm has dropped to 1.2C, the lowest since 12th February.
This morning is dawning bright with a clear sky and the promise of more sunshine.
