Today was the windiest hot day I can remember, certainly for inland. The
hottest day on record in August 2003 was also quite breezy I recall. But
today we had a maximum of 26.8C with an average wind speed of 17 mph and
gusts up to 31 mph. Needless to say it was pleasant out in the sun.
Warm here too and not as windy, just breezy.
Average wind speed this afternoon was 7 mph with the highest gust being
18 mph. So nothing other than a breezy summer's day.
Mind you, even the breeze didn't temper the warmth with a maximum of 26C
and DPs around 16C - 17C at the time. It was uncomfortably warm to sit
in the sun for any length of time. High UV again.
Cooling off now though with the humidity dropping away.
(19:05), 20.1C, RH 68%, DP 13.6C, 1024 hPa (F), Wind 5 mph WNW.
