Thursday was memorable for the very humid air that produced misty conditions all day with frequent light rain and drizzle that amounted to 2.0mm. The monthly rainfall total is now 64.2mm just 4.5mm above my 40-year record. The maximum of 20.6C, early in the afternoon at 14.18, was depressed due to the cloud and rain, which was 2.2C below my 40-year average. The minimum of 12.9C was 1.0C above average and was logged at 03/57 early Friday.
Friday revealed a very different day as there was sunshine as soon the sun rose above the horizon that had lifted the temperature to 16.2C by 08.00.
The high pressure in the Atlantic will be throwing a ridge across the UK as the day progresses whilst the recent depression near Iceland recedes, so a mainly dry and sunny day ahead.
