REPORT 


August 2014 has done an about turn when compared with June and July which were dominated by warm and sunny weather. This month turned out wetter than average and also very much cooler with temperatures lower than at any August since 1993. The month was dominated by Low pressure. This was quite modest in the first week with some warm weather still to be found but  by the second week the remains of Hurricane Bertha brought an abrupt drop in temperature which never really recovered in the final weeks. The month ended up 2.2C below the long term mean here which is a substantial shortfall. From the second week too there were some heavy rain events with thunder at times though rainfall was quite variable place to place due to the showery nature of the rain. Some exceptionally cool nights occurred towards the last week with the low of 2.7C on the 24th a record with a valley frost reported here. Sunshine amounts were unspectacular overall due to the unsettled nature of the weather but at least despite Hurricane Bertha's presence for a time mid month there was no major wind events to be noted. So all in all August 2014 was a disappointing month which ended up cooler and wetter than average overall.
