A taste of Autumn?

Last night the temperature fell to 8.7 Celsius in Shoreham, the lowest reading since 20th May. At Gatwick Airport the minimum was 6.6 Celsius. A heavy dew was another reminder that Autumn is not far away, but with temperatures expected to rise above 20 Celsius again today,  there’s confirmation that we are not finished with Summer just yet.

Wettest in England

Yes, Wednesday was a very wet day. A total of 28 millimetres  (1.1 inches) of rain fell, making it the wettest place in England. However, there were 2 wetter places in the British Isles. Guernsey had 50 millimetres (2 inches) of rain, and Capel Curig,  in the mountains of North Wales, received 45.2 millimetres (1.8 inches).
