Thursday produced another glorious day with 7.56 hours of strong sunshine that raised the thermometer to a maximum of 16.2C, which is 2C above the average. Also notable was that the UV level at 4.9,(range 0 – 10) has edged into the ‘High’ category. Overnight the thermometer fell consistently to a minimum of 0.7C just before 7am this morning giving another ground frost. The day has dawned with much sunshine and the barometric pressure still high, promising another fine day.
Yesterday morning produced an unusual weather phenomenon called a ‘Sun Pillar’ that could be seen for a few minutes as the sun rose. This occurrence cannot be predicted as the effect is created by the reflection of light from numerous tiny ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere or clouds.
