The peak of 10.7C on Tuesday, thanks to heavy cloud and showery conditions that added 4.3mm of rainfall. Thus was still 2.7C above the long-term average but the lowest for four days. The minimum overnight occurred on Wednesday at 08.00 with a low of 6.9C being 4.6C above the average.
The maximum temperatures have been slowly dropping over the last four days as we begin to lose the influence of the warm, moist Atlantic air with 12.3C, 11.7C, 11.0C and 10.7C respectively. Wednesday will see this trend continue. The recent depression is slowly edging eastwards over the Continent as a result the wind has already veered from the southwest to northwest and later today will come from the north. This is a cooler airflow so the maximum today will be down on those of the last four days, probably a single figure.
Wednesday arrived dull and dark with total cloud cover and feeling cooler in the nor-norwest airstream.
