Saturday brought a deluge of rain that lasted for over eight hours and amounted to 24.5mm, logged after 08.00, but in total, from when it started just before 04.00, amounted to 28.7mm. That additional precipitation took the monthly total to 54.2mm being 11.6mm below my 40-year average. Not surprisingly, the temperature by day was depressed, peaking at 18.9C late in the afternoon sunshine at 15.39. Under clearing skies the thermometer dropped to 10.0C at 04.49 early Sunday.
Sunday brought weak sunshine to start the day but strengthened as the sun rose above cloud on the eastern skyline. A temporary ridge of high pressure should give a dry day even if cloud builds later in the morning.
