For the second day running, yesterday gave us no strong sunshine although the slightly warmer air pushed the thermometer to a maximum of 15.2C (+1.3C), the highest for a week. With cloud cover overnight resulting from the week weather front transitting the country, the thermometer did not drop below 9.5C giving us the warmest start to the day this month. As a consequence of the higher day and night time temperatures the soil at a depth of 5cm is the warmest it has been since October 29th at 11.3C. However, with the forecast of a brief cold spell next week, this is likely to drop significantly.
Intermittent sunshine has greeted this morning but no rain in the immediate forecast with just 1mm in total this month so far.
