Wednesday was a thoroughly unpleasant day with thick cloud all day and cold. The thermometer did not get above 5.5C, which was 2.6C below my 40-year average and the coldest day since 19th January. This peak was a significant drop of 7C from the previous day’s warmth. A low of 4.1C was logged at 05.53 Thursday.
Another weather front began to assault us at 02.56 Thursday that had deposited 9.1mm by 08.00 Thursday taking the monthly total to 29.3mm when my 40-year average is 65.7mm.
Another weather front is crossing the area on Thursday with a wide rain band thanks to a deepening depression centred just off the west cast of Ireland. The barometric pressure reading at 08.00 was 993.0mb, the lowest since 17th January.
