Although cloud moved in during the afternoon yesterday obscuring the sunshine, the morning gave us 1.77 hours of strong sunshine and the UV level at midday reached into the ‘High’ category, the highest since 6th September last year. Again, a day without precipitation, making it fourteen dry days this month. Overnight the thermometer dropped steadily under the clear sky until a minimum of 2.4C was reached at 03.23 this morning, giving a grass frost, after which variable cloud and a slight breeze allowed the thermometer to rise to 5.1C at 08.00.
This morning dawned with cloud drifting in on the north-easterly wind but was soon dispersed as the sun got to work on it. The fresh breeze meant that although the thermometer read 5.2C, there was significant wind chill so that it felt like 2C.
