After the glorious weather of the weekend, we're back to earth with a
bump. Sporadic bursts of light rain combined with a blustery wind, low
overcast and visibility of about 5km have made it a gloomy day.

Currently, temperature 6.4°C steady from a minimum of 2.6°C at 00:15.

Wind averaging 10mph, gusting to 20mph, SSW. Max gust 25mph, SSW, at
13:45.

Barometer 1014.3mb falling from a high of 1022.8mb at 00:15

Precipitation since midnight 0.0mm.

Insufficient to register. The rain gauge uses a tipping bucket which
tips when 0.2mm have accumulated. If the bucket was empty then it
would require 0.2mm of rain to fall before the bucket tipped.

Just after I posted we had 1.4mm in 75 minutes.
