A peak of 7.5C on Friday was 0.8C above the average. Although the southeasterly breeze was light, maximum gust of just 16mph, the morning started with an air frost so it took a while for the thermometer to rise from a low start during the breaks of sunshine mid-morning. It was a dry day. The overnight low of 4.3C at 05.39 Sunday was also above average, exactly 3C.
On Sunday the centre of the high pressure has migrated a little further east, over Austria and extending to Russia as the day progresses. The clockwise movement of air will bring a much warmer air mass from much further south, around North Africa, that will contain Saharan Dust, however, this is likely to fall to the northwest of the UK. The temperature by 08.00 had risen a trifle to 4.8C with the barometric pressure down 10mb since Saturday with a reading of 1022.7mb at 08.00.
