Dry but cool again and sunless on Saturday

Saturday was the fourth day in October that no sunshine was recorded, as a result the temperature by day was depressed with a maximum of only 12.7C being 1.8C below average.

Thick cloud overnight meant a mild night with the minimum of 9.7C being 2.6C above average.

Sunday at dawn saw a large bank of cloud easing away to the east with thin cloud exposing possible clear skies to the west. The wind has backed further from the southwest to south. However, barometric pressure has been falling, 9mb down since Saturday, as a cold weather front approaches from the west with possible precipitation later on Sunday.
