Although in the sunshine on Thursday it felt warm out of the breeze the thermometer only reached 21.9C, it was still below average at -0.9C. The minimum of 12.3C was above average thanks to the chide cover again, which was +0.4C.
Friday revealed another cloudy, dull start to the day. A frontal system has been slowly moving southwestwards overnight, after the wind veered into the northeast, a cool direction, around 22.00 on Thursday night. The cool air is being brought from Scandinavia today, so not a warm day ahead. The rain band is fragmented but by 08.00 had reached the Swindon area so a cloudy, cool, likely damp morning ahead. The wind is forecast to back into the north later today.
