The misty, damp morning and afternoon on Monday, combined with a breezy northwesterly, limited the temperature rise to 10.0C being just 0.2C below the average. The additional rainfall amount of 1.6mm took the monthly total to 121.6mm being 134% of the 39-year average. Overnight was dry and with a minimum of 3.9C was almost exactly average that occurred just before dawn on Tuesday.
Tuesday began dull but there was some brightness around 08.00. The light breeze will back from the north into the west later in the morning as the depression in the North Sea sides southwards. The cooler air stream is likely to mean a much cooler day than yesterday and a temperature close to freezing overnight tonight.
