Still above temperatures by day but not night

The stream of warm air continued on Saturday that saw the thermometer rise to 16.6C at 15.24 being 1.7C above average. However, clearer skies initially overnight saw the temperature drop away to a minimum of 5.7C early on Sunday at 02.53 being 1.7C below average. That was followed by a weather front with associated cloud crossing the area after that time that allowed the temperature to recover to 8.2C at 08.00.

Sunday after dawn revealed that radiation fog had formed in the River Og valley due to the lower temperatures, which had almost cleared by 08.00 as the sun rose above back edge of the cloud from the weather front.

A ridge of high pressure is edging in from the west that will give a fine day and a few quiet days ahead. The barometric pressure has risen to 1022.6mb at 08.00, the highest for four days.
