At first this was very heavy before becoming lighter after an hour or so.

Added here as I missed the other thread Report for Friday 3rd June 2005, Readings taken at 00:00. After a mostly cloudy and dry start with hazy sunshine, the cloud thickened considerably by mid-afternoon. This led to some heavy thundery showers, with the final shower lasting well into the evening. By nightfall it turned drier with overcast skies and a light westerly wind. In the hazy sunshine earlier on it managed to reach a respectable 22.4°C, but this quickly feel back to around 13°C as the showers arrived. There was also a sticky feel in the air as the humidity increased steadily from the mid-afternoon. A combination of the high maximum and minimum temperatures has raised my June average over a degree above the 1971-2000 value and interestingly, 3 out of 3 days so far this June have seen substantial rain. Current Temp: 12.1°C Max Temp: 22.4°C (at 12:10) Min Temp: 10.9°C (at 05:25) Humidity: 88% Min Humidity: 59% (at 14:09) Pressure: 1003.1hPa (Steady) Dewpoint: 10.1°C Wind: W (7mph) My June average currently stands at 15.2°C (+1.1°C Above the 1971-2000 average).

Report for Sunday 29th May 2005, Readings taken at 23:15. After a clear night the morning started sunny and warm with a light south-westerly breeze. Cloud bubbled up by mid-morning turning the sunshine hazy, but the breeze died down and humidity fell sharply meaning it felt very pleasant indeed. The late-afternoon and evening were mainly clear after the cloud burnt off, but in the last few hours the temperature has dropped and it now feels quite chilly. It was cooler today, both by day and night than the last 4 days, yet still respectable for late-May.

Report for Saturday 28th May 2005, Readings taken at 23:30. A mostly sunny and pleasant day but with a strong wind of 25-30mph which gusted to gale force quite regularly. Despite the forecasted "cooldown", today was actually a warmer day than yesterday, topping yesterday's maximum by 1.2°C. Last night was slightly cooler than the night before, but humidity remained high. This evening saw lighter winds and clear skies, as a result temperatures have rapidly fallen from around 19°C at 7pm. My May average is now 12.0°C, equal to the 2004 value in this location. Noteworthy however is that the high average this month is due to a high maximum temperature average, last year it was the minimum temperature average. Current Temp: 11.7°C Max Temp: 21.6°C (at 13:52) Min Temp: 10.9°C (at 00:54) Humidity: 72% Min Humidity: 50% (at 16:53) Pressure: 1013.7hPa (Rising) Dewpoint: 6.8°C Wind: SSW (6mph) My May average currently stands at 12.0°C (+0.7°C Above the 1971-2000 average).

Report for Friday 27th May 2005, Readings taken at 23:15. After a partly cloudy and very mild night, the day began with the temperature rising quickly and sunny skies. However, by mid-morning it had become almost completely overcast and remained that way for the whole afternoon. Only occasionally did a few sunny spells appear, but these did nothing to raise the temperature. The evening saw skies clear, but the temperature has since started to fall sharply, with humidity increasing equally as quick. With a maximum of 20.4°C, today was 3.4°C cooler than yesterday. It also felt significantly cooler aswell, with a nagging easterly wind. Despite not being as warm as yesterday, the day was still well above average, meaning my May average is now 0.5°C over the 1971-2000 value. Current Temp: 11.3°C Max Temp: 20.4°C (at 12:25) Min Temp: 11.4°C (Current) Humidity: 86% Min Humidity: 52% (at 09:31) Pressure: 1006.5hPa (Steady) Dewpoint: 9.0°C Wind: NE (4mph) My May average currently stands at 11.8°C (+0.5°C Above the 1971-2000 average).

Kind of disappointing! This really is an isolated south-east warm spell, I expected it to get a little warmer than this. Skies are still cloudy with occasional bright spells and a light breeze. It doesnt feel particularly warm. Current Temp: 18.9°C Humidity: 65% Pressure: 1010.6hPa (Falling) Dewpoint: 12.1°C Wind: SE (6mph)

Report for Thursday 26th May 2005, Readings taken at 00:00. After an incredibly mild night for the time of year, the morning started off mostly cloudy with brightness gradually increasing towards the afternoon. The afternoon itself was very pleasant, with lots of sunshine and a refreshing breeze. This combination allowed the temperature to reach 22.6°C, which although warm, was just slightly cooler than yesterday. The minimum temperature on the other hand was the warmest since 10th September 2004, making sleeping difficult when combined with the high humidity. Both the high maximum and minimum temperatures means this month is now well on its way towards being another 12°C May. Current Temp: 13.8°C Max Temp: 22.6°C (at 14:09) Min Temp: 13.8°C (at 23:54) Humidity: 70% Min Humidity: 53% (at 19:42) Pressure: 1015.1hPa (Steady) Dewpoint: 8.4°C Wind: N (Calm) My May average currently stands at 11.7°C (+0.4°C Above the 1971-2000 average).

It reached 23.8°C here today, which was extremely pleasant. However, the thing I hate most about these southerly warm/hot plumes is the night. Even at midnight it is still 16.5°C and the humidity is quickly rising. Plus as my room gets the sun late in the afternoon it is currently at a toasty 27°C and 59% humidity, its going to be so hard to sleep tonight!

Report for Wednesday 25th May 2005, Readings taken at 23:50. After a wet, overcast start it gradually brightened up and warmed up in the process. The night in itself was a very mild one, with the minimum temperature the highest since January 7th 2005. The afternoon turned out to be mostly sunny and remained dry, although cloud did build for a time. When the sun made an appearance the temperature increased, reaching 23.8°C, the warmest maximum so far this year and the highest value since September 5th 2004. This evening has remained very mild indeed, only falling below the 20°C mark after 7pm. It seems very likely tonight that a new high minimum temperature for 2005 may be set. The combination of high minimum and maximum temperature values today means my May average is once again above the 1971-2000 figure. It looks like another above average month will occur. Current Temp: 16.5°C Max Temp: 23.8°C (at 15:44) Min Temp: 10.5°C (at 05:29) Humidity: 67% Min Humidity: 56% (at 16:28) Pressure: 1014.0hPa (Steady) Dewpoint: 10.3°C Wind: SSW (8mph) My May average currently stands at 11.4°C (+0.1°C Above the 1971-2000 average).

Currently cloudy and dry after a wet miserable morning, feels quite warm due to the high humidity. Current Temp: 17.4°C Humidity: 72% Pressure: 1009.5hPa (Rising) Dewpoint: 12.3°C Wind: WSW (8mph)

Report for Sunday 22nd May 2005, Readings taken at 23:50. A sunny day with patchy cloud thickening as the day went on. In the morning it felt cool in the breeze but by mid-afternoon it warmed up and felt quite pleasant. Later in the evening saw some beefy showers, which were heavy but not thundery in nature like yesterday. In the last hour or so the skies have cleared, allowing the temperature to drop somewhat. At 18.9°C it was another mild day, following on from a mild night. Current Temp: 9.3°C Max Temp: 18.9°C (at 15:09) Min Temp: 8.1°C (at 04:41) Humidity: 87% Min Humidity: 48% (at 15:35) Pressure: 1003.9hPa (Rising) Dewpoint: 7.2°C Wind: SSE (7mph) My May average currently stands at 11.0°C (-0.3°C Below the 1971-2000 average).

Report for Saturday 21st May 2005, Readings taken at 23:40. After a mostly clear night the morning started off sunny and reasonably warm, reaching 15°C by around 10am. However throughout the day, the cloud bubbled up but suprisingly it remained dry until the late evening when a there was a prolonged shower lasting for around 45 minutes. This shower composed of hail, rain, thunder and also had a strong wind associated with it. Afterwards the skies almost totally cleared which has allowed the temperature drop into single figures again tonight. Overall another warm day, meaning my May average is slowly but surely creeping back up to the average. It has risen some 0.5°C in the last 4 days. Current Temp: 8.5°C Max Temp: 18.1°C (at 13:43) Min Temp: 6.1°C (at 05:19) Humidity: 87% Min Humidity: 49% (at 13:56) Pressure: 1002.0hPa (Steady) Dewpoint: 6.4°C Wind: SSW (8mph) My May average currently stands at 10.9°C (-0.4°C Below the 1971-2000 average).

Report for Friday 20th May 2005, Readings taken at 00:00. After a very mild night which didnt see the temperature drop below 11.8°C the morning started off sunny with a strong southerly breeze. After midday the cloud began to build which made the sunshine more hazy and gave a few light showers late in the afternoon. These showers died out in the evening to leave clear skies which are allowing the temperature to drop. The most noteworthy aspect of today is how warm it got, with 21.5°C reached in the afternoon. It did feel cool at times in the strong wind though. The combination of a mild night and warm day have increased my May average so that it now stands just half a degree below the 1971-2000 value. Current Temp: 9.3°C Max Temp: 21.5°C (at 13:56) Min Temp: 9.3°C (at 23:54) Humidity: 73% Min Humidity: 51% (at 15:44) Pressure: 1006.3hPa (Steady) Dewpoint: 4.7°C Wind: WSW (4mph) My May average currently stands at 10.8°C (-0.5°C Below the 1971-2000 average).
