Monday was a very pleasant day with many hours of sunshine that lifted the temperature to 16.9C at 14.56 being 2.0C above my 40-year average. There was a light shower around 11.30 but much more rain in the early hours, ceasing just after 06.10 Tuesday, amounting to 10.6mm. The minimum of 10.9C at 03.52 was also above average at +3.6C.
Tuesday dawned bright but thick cloud was threatening with shower activity not far away. It was another day with humidity reading 100% at 08.00 thanks to the recent substantial rainfall.
The centre of the low at midday will be just off the coast of Cornwall that is likely to produce frequent showers over our area. The barometric pressure has dropped further reading 992.5mb at 08.00, the lowest pressure since 26th September. The breeze will continue from the south for much of the day, a warm direction.
The breeze will pick up as the day progresses but nothing like Hurricane Milton threatening Florida with 155mhh gales and a barometric pressure reading at its centre of just 924mb
The temperature of the ground at a depth of 5cm has risen from a low of 7.1C on the 5th to 11.3C at 08.00 thanks to the warmer nights.
