Yesterday brought interesting weather. There were squally showers throughout most of the morning with a small disturbance at 0955. The winds increased, the showers turned from rain to small hail then briefly to snow. The barometric pressure made a dramatic rise of 1mb in the matter of a few minutes before dropping back again as the depression passed close by. Precipitation amounted to 5.1mm, the maximum gust of wind was recorded at 35mph and the peak temperature at 6.9C (mean is 10.4C). The rain stopped before noon and the sky brightened a little with 1 hour of strong sunshine during the afternoon. Decidedly not spring like weather!
