Would be great but if you have sunshine that’s very unlikely. The maximum temperature will be around 15.00 .

Yep....up to 4c now. Pressure seems to have peaked at 1046 hPa

[Mapantz]

Top temp of 8.6°C here. After a small decline in pressure, it's creeping up again. 1046.09. It'll continue to fluctuate before rising further overnight in to tomorrow.

A pleasant afternoon in the garden, with the temperature peaking at 9.1°C at: 14:05, although cooling now as the sun's heat is diminishing for the day...

[Dean E]

Sunny day again, was nice to finally spend a weekend day out in the sunshine without the rain or cloud! The high here was 7.4°C, so lower than yesterday.

Currently 5.9°C and falling steadily as the sun begins to set. Pressure leveled off at 1045 mb, having barely risen since lunchtime. I am now 1mb off my record set back in 2016, now looks set to be broken.

[CheesepuffScott]

1°C on the nose here. PWS down the road from me has a pressure reading of 1049.7 but that one has a tendency to be out a little bit on other stats
