Report for Monday 4th July 2005, Readings taken at 23:50.

Overall a cloudy, wet and very cool day. It started off dry this morning but by around 11am the rain arrived with some 7mm falling in the space of 30 minutes. The afternoon and evening continued much in the same way, though the rain was lighter and not as constant. The maximum temperature today was 16.6°C reached before the rain arrived. The temperature then fell and has remained below 13.5°C for the entire day. Interestingly, today's maximum temperature is only 0.1°C higher than Saturdays minimum temperature. With such a cool day a full degree has been shaved from my July average and the 11.4mm of rainfall today is well over sixth of the total amount expected here in July.
