Very unsettled with more rain to come

After a very wet start to Saturday the rain eased mid-morning until early Sunday at 05.15 when another shower arrived, the daily total being 3.1mm. The air stream was still mild by day and night that saw the thermometer rise to 19.3C at 13.06 on Saturday being just 0.2C above average whereas the cloud overnight meant again a very mild night with a low of 12.0C at 01.35 early Sunday, ahead of the next batch of cloud and rain. This minimum was 3.3C above my average.

Sunday slowly dawned under leaden skies with the rain having stopped just after 07.00. The temperature had recovered to 14.9C by 08.00.

The centre of the depression is currently over Cornwall. It will continue to very slowly rotate over the UK, the current rainfall radar showing large areas of rain to the north and east with more possible here around mid-day. Later today, as the depression moves slowly northeastwards the wind will veer into the southeast later today and tomorrow come from the southwest. That signifies a significant change after seven days with a northeasterly, rather thanthunderstorms bubbling up a more generally disturbed pattern with showers coming in off the Atlantic.
