to add to post 14 above, a maximum temperature of  19.4C; this fell to 11.8C by 1700; good enough for a cold front many times, imagine that in mid winter, mild with 10C then 8C or more fall?

Can't match Johns drop but we've gone from 18.5C to 11.1C. Sheffield shield seems to be doing it's job on the showers though so a month of little or no rainfall bar one day continues.

[Terminal Moraine]

The early morning fog cleared by 0830 g.m.t to leave a predominantly dry day with sunny intervals or longer spells of hazy sunshine. The cloud thickened during the late afternoon to bring a few spots of showery rain, accompanied by a temporary increase to f5 in the NE wind and a 6 degree fall in temperature.

Easily the warmest day of the year so far here.
