Diary of Highlights

1st to 3rd
Pressure was fairly high, but with outbreaks of rain across some southern and eastern areas, the rain was quite widespread on the 3rd.

4th to 8th
High pressure brought plenty of dry weather. However, despite some sunshine in places, skies were often cloudy. There was also patchy overnight fog.

9th to 10th
A cold front brought rain south-eastwards - some of it heavy in places but it soon cleared away on the 10th.

11th to 14th
The high pressure re-asserted itself once again. After quite sunny days on the 11th and 12th, it became cloudy, but remained dry and quiet.

15th to 17th
Rain spread south-eastwards and became heavy across parts of the south. Mild in the rain, but cooler in the drier areas of the north.

18th to 26th
High pressure returned and after a couple of sunny days, along with overnight frost inland, skies became cloudier again. It was very quiet with light winds, though a brisk south-easterly wind developed in the south on the 23rd. The 25th was a rather dull and damp day in the south.

27th to 28th
The high pressure gave way, allowing rain to spread south-eastwards, some of this was heavy with 30 to 40 mm over some high ground in North Wales. The rain became lighter and patchier as it cleared south-eastwards on the 28th. It was very mild in the rain, with temperatures 14 to 16 Celsius.

29th to 31st
After a chilly, showery day on the 29th, it became mostly dry again by the 30th, though with increasingly cloudy skies. It also became milder again with maximum temperatures generally of 14 to 16 Celsius on the last day of the month.
