More rain in three days than August or July

The mild weather continued on Tuesday with both the maximum of 20.7C and minimum of 14.1C above average, +1.8C and + 4.9C respectively.

More rain fell amounting to 5.7mm that brought the monthly total to 25.5mm. The three day total was greater than that in August 18.0mm or July 14.1mm.

Wednesday started bright with weak sunshine but just after 07.15 a large shower area from the south, passing just to the east over Hungerford, blocked out the sun. However, just before 08.25 the cloud eased away and broken sunken returned.

The wind continues predominantly from the south, as yesterday, so another mild day in sight. The low pressure system just off the west coast is still influencing our weather with the pressure at 08.00 of 1008.4mb.
