The sun did break through intermittently yesterday with 1.92 hours and when it did it was very strong giving a UV level of 7.1. This was just into the ‘Very High’ category and the highest UV reading since 22nd August 2016.
Sadly, the sunshine did not mean a warm day as the thermometer only reached a peak of 13.1C, some 3.5C below the 33-year average, partly due to the limited sunshine but the wind veering into the northeast again and strengthening.
Overnight the thick cloud kept the thermometer from falling very low with a minimum of 6.2C at 06.18. This morning dawned with the thick cloud continuing and a temperature of 6.7C at 08.00, the coldest morning this month. Also relevant is the extremely low humidity with a reading of only 76% at 08.00. Usually the humidity level falls during the night but this morning has been falling from just after midnight.
