Although we only had 2.2 hours of strong sunshine, mainly in the morning, the thermometer rose to 17.9C, still 0.8C below the 33-year average. This was the warmest day since 8th September and all due to the wind backing into the south.
Most of the day was predominantly cloudy with the wind strength picking up late afternoon with a gust of 23mph at 16.48.
A cloudy and mild night was to follow with the thermometer not dropping below 13.3C, which was 4C above the September average.
A light shower, amounting to 0.2mm, fell just before 1am bringing the monthly total to 45.7mm, which is 74% of the 33-year average.
