Tuesday started with an overcast sky and occasional drizzle as the cold front exited to the east. The afternoon brightened but was far less sunny than previous days with just 1.77 hours of sunshine. The wind, having veered into the north due to the rising barometric pressure, pegged back the temperature to a maximum of 13.9C, which is average for early April. Also the northerly air is a much drier air, evidence the humidity at 08.00 with a reading of 90%, was the lowest for a fortnight. The wind dropped overnight but maintained a light breeze that kept the temperature from dropping to freezing with a minimum of 2.7C.
This morning dawned bright with hazy sunshine as the thermometer rose to 5.2C at 08.00.
