Yet again both the maximum of 18.8C and the overnight minimum of 9.6C were below my 40-year average with -2.9C and -2.3C respectively. The brisk wind from the northeast for much of the day depressed temperatures. However, it was the third consecutive dry day with the UV level reaching the High level.
Saturday revealed a cloudy sky but thankfully thin and high and allowing a little brightness to come through.
The anticyclone to the west is beginning to fade and move away so no prolonged periods of sunshine with Saturday predominantly cloudy with perhaps more sunshine on Sunday and mainly dry. The barometric pressure has dropped a modest 3mb since Thursday. The wind overnight has backed from the very cool northeasterly direction to come from the northwest today, a slightly warmer direction, but the depression off the cast of Denmark is still feeding the air from Norway.
