The persistent, strong northeasterly winds started to abate, thankfully, after midday yesterday dropping to light breezes of 2 – 5 mph late evening and overnight. Late evening the wind backed a little into the north, after six days from the northeast. There was no strong sunshine (>100W/sq.m.) yesterday, the first ‘no show’ for two weeks. It is not surprising, therefore, to find that the temperatures were depressed yesterday with a maximum of 14.7C, which is 2C below the 33-year average. There was some week sunshine at which the the UV level registered at the top of the ‘Medium’ range.
Overnight the thick cloud cover limited the fall in temperature to 8.1C just after 5am. This morning has dawned overcast with thick, quite low cloud, with a hint of moisture in the air at the 08.00 time readings are taken.
