Pool of cool air still with us

The wind from the west picked up as the day progressed that combined with a cloudy morning limited the temperature rise to a maximum of 14.7C 13.49, which was 0.2C below average. There was a brief light shower between 10.20 and 11.05 that amounted to 1.0mm of precipitation. Brief sunny intervals then arrived after midday but were limited. The sky was clear overnight that allowed the thermometer to fall away to reach a minimum of 3.7C at 06.33 being 7.7C below average.

By 06.30 on Sunday thin cloud had arrived from the west and obscured any view of the sun after dawn, which allowed the temperature to show a slight rise to 4.5C by 08.00. The wind has backed into a more southerly quadrant, probably from the southeast for the bulk of the day, and be relatively light. The cool air following a cold night then thin high cloud during daylight will mean a very cool day.
