Overall: A very sunny month with mild first half and cold second half.
Probably the first time since 1985 that 10C has not been reached during
the second half of the month. Was a very dry month until the 23rd. More
than half the monthly total fell between the 24th and 28th. Sunshine
every day from the 9th to 29th.

The day of lowest pressure should in fact be the 11th not the 12th.
