Red sky in the morning …. Shepherd’s warning!

We enjoyed 7.9 hours of strong sunshine on Wednesday with no rainfall during the daytime. Despite the sunshine the westerly breeze moderated the temperature with a maximum of 16.4C, down a degree on Tuesday and 2C below the average.

However, a narrow band of rain arrived at 20.25 with a much heavier pulse at 22.20 resulting in 7.1mm of rainfall. This brings the total for September to 39.0mm.

It was a cool night with the thermometer dropping to 7.2C at 6am resulting in the coolest morning this month at 08.00 with the temperature at 8.4C.

The image of a red sky at dawn indicates that more rain is likely during today, although there has been intermittent sunshine for the first few hours of Thursday.
