A maximum of 10.1C on Tuesday was the highest this month but still below average, -0.5C, thanks to the cool air on a southeasterly light breeze that saw a maximum gust of just 11mph. Overnight was calm just the odd movement of 2 or 3mph, which is why, with a clear sky, the temperature fell below freezing with a low of -1.9C at 06.05 on Wednesday producing a hard air frost.
Wednesday at first light revealed fog in evidence again, the morning it was varying between 200m and 500m with a short burst of sun just before 08.00 that was soon eclipsed by the moving fog bank. The thermometer just lifted to 0C at 08.00.
A ridge of high pressure centred over Scandinavia, gave a reading of 1020.8b at 08.00, which will mean a dry and mostly sunny day after the sun disperses the fog. The anticyclone is not forecast to move much for a couple of days.
