Saturday was the last of the mild days and nights for a few days that saw the thermometer rise to 10.8C at 12.38 before the cold front passed our way and was 0.5C above the long-term average. The cloud cover persisted all day and night limiting the loss of overnight warmth into the atmosphere, as a result the minimum of 6.3C logged 07.55 early Sunday was 2.3C above the long-term average.
It was another dry day with just 1.6mm the total rainfall for the first half of November when the 40-year average is 91.7mm.
Sunday after dawn revealed another morning with total cloud cover but mild and calm, the breeze having veered into the west that will persist for most of the day.
The high pressure has fallen away further so we are beginning to come under the influence of a low pressure system over Scandinavia that will soon bring much cooler weather from the north for a few days. The barometric pressure reading at 08.00 was 1017.5mb down almost 20mb since its peak six days ago.
