Maximum of 12.4C around noon, after a mainly sunny morning. Lots of
cloud along the north coast, and hills exposed to the north coast, but
the cloud broke readily as it descended towards the south coast.

Got up to 12.6°C here at 13:30 in the sunshine today though it did cloud
over after that. The warmest day so far of 2009.

It was quite a mild start this morning after an overnight low of 6.6°C.

Mean temperatures for the month now gradually rising (1st - 17th)

Mean min: 1.1°C
Mean max: 7.0°C
Mean: 4.0°C.
Rain/snowfall: 51.9 mm.

Sunshine still a tad disappointing at only 46.3 hours so far.

(18:30), 9.0°C, RH 74%, DP 4.6°C, 1028 hPa (S), Wind 3 mph WNW, 4.7 hours'
sunshine today.
