Both the maximum and minimum of Sunday were above the cool day on Saturday with a peak of 12.0C at 15.17 (+1.4C) and 5.7C at 01.55 early Monday (+3.2C). Rain in the early hours amounted to 1.8mm that took the monthly total to 57.6mm being 94% of my 40-year average.
Monday dawned dull with the residua compete cloud cover from the latest rain band. The centre of the depression is over Ireland and it will slowly sink a little further south but be around for the next few days, as a result we will have a few more cool days with limited sunshine and showers. The wind backed from the northwest on Sunday and is now coming from the southeast. As the centre of the depression gets near the barometric pressure will continue to drop with a reading of 1001.3mb at 08.00, down 25mb from its highest on Thursday and the lowest since the 10th.
