Windrush Weather

What a difference a day makes!

After a dismal day on Tuesday, Wednesday was a gloriously sunny day with 7.36 hours of strong sunshine, the second sunniest day this month, 7.91 hours on the 9th.

The sunshine again boosted the temperature above maximum to 16.4C (+1.8C) but down nearly 2C on the previous day’s maximum. Another dry day, the 10th this month.

Overnight the temperature initially fell away under the clear skies but this was reversed as after 02.17, when a minimum of 5.9C (-1.4C against average) was recorded, the advancing cloud lifted the temperature to 11.0C at 08.00.

This morning we are back to the very low cloud and hill fog (visibility down to around 900m) with moisture in the atmosphere, but not enough to be measurable, as the wandering weather front again travels back over southern England. With completely calm conditions, there is no air movement to lift or move on the very thick, low cloud.
