RMK: A dry day. Extensive middle and high cloud all
day resulted in a bright day rather than a sunny one.
Only 0.7 hours of sunshine measured. With the wind it
felt decidedly wintry depite the thermometer showing
a max of 7.7°. The RH fell below 50% at times in the
afternoon. It's been a very long time since there
was such dry air.

Yes, the same happened in Shropshire - RH has been around 30% from 1330z to 1630z, and dipped to 27% just after 1400z. I've seen RH this low in anticyclonic or light wind scenarios before - but haven't seen such low RH with a 15-knot breeze. Dew point values of -7 to -9, so particularly dry air.
