After yesterday's lovely sunshine today was a such a contrast with its
dull, sunless conditions, giving an overall cold feel.

Not much wind about but what wind there was made it feel quite raw at
times when I was out on a site visit for most of the afternoon near the
Exe Estuary.

Temperatures struggled until mid-morning after a chilly start with a min
of just 2.7°C, and for most of the day the temperature was around 8°C to
9°C. This makes it the coldest day for rather long time, since the 18th
March to be exact (max of 9.7°C).

Temp now slowly rising under a thick layer of cloud. It certainly won't
be as cold as last night when I nearly recorded my first grass frost of
the season (grass min of 0.9°C).

Despite today's colder than average temperatures, the first week of this
month has been a warm one.
(1st - 7th mean temps)
Min = 8.0°C
Max = 13.7°C
Mean = 10.9°C
Rain = 29.9 mm
Sun = 23.1 hours.

(20:00), 9.6°C, RH 92%, DP 8.4°C, 1017 hPa, Wind 5 mph NE.
