Night warmer than day, also a significant change in weather pattern.

Saturday was the ninth consecutive day with thick, low cloud blocking out any sunshine that limited the temperature rise to 7.8C. In fact the thermometer was almost stationary all day at around 7.2C. The minimum temperature was logged at 00.59 early Sunday with a low of 6.1C after which the temperature began to reverse and rise again. There was little air movement although there was a significant change from east to west and south that saw the thermometer rise a degree overnight to reach 8.2C. It was another dry day with the UV level so low it did not trigger the UV sensor, the third consecutive occurrence.

Sunday brought another cloudy start to the day but the cloud was higher than recently being produced from a warm weather front crossing the country, the first for over a week, a significant change in our weather pattern. Any breeze will come mainly from the southwest today, a warmer direction, rather than from an easterly quadrant as in the past week.
