Same start as yesterday to our day today, overcast, humid and occasional small light showers moving through on a decreasing North Easterly to Easterly breeze. rainfall for the overnight frontal event was reasonable too at 30.9mm, my water tank is grateful but not even half full yet.  Yesterdays forecast was pretty accurate really as the clouds parted early afternoon and the sun came out so fine and sunny all afternoon except for a couple of periods when a localised black cloud covered the sun but did not precipitate.  Max temperature today was 19.7 at 15:38, overnight low was 10.8 at 6:20.  Last nights wind just continued over into today with the max wind gust of 46 km/hr at 1:30 heralding the peak of the frontal wind from where it had dropped to 28 km/hr at 5:45 but then spectacularly crashed to under 10 km/hr in the next 15 minutes.  For the rest of the day the wind bounced along at between 4 and 12 km/hr.  Wind direction started as an Easterly but progressively disintegrated to a variable Northerly to Easterly from 3:00 am, changed to a Northerly for a period mid afternoon then tracked to a Southerly briefly before moving back to the current 4 km North Westerly . . . well at the moment anyway.  Outdoor Humidity was glued to 99% for the first half of the day, dropped to the daily minimum of 64% at 15:40 but was back to 99% before 18:00.  The Barometer was able to arrest its decent of the last day or so at 6:00 when it bounced at 1012.9 hPa, reached 1014.4 hPa by 10:30 but then lost it again to be at 1012.5 hPa by 15:30 before rebounding to the current 1014.5 hPa which is still shy of what it was at the beginning of the day at 1015.4 hPa . . .phew!
