Yes like i said lots of factors here to look at.

Huge shift in humidity would normally hurt your times badly 80% is pretty high and the change that fast would normally mean other more serious weather changes like wind etc which would kill your MPH.

The change in pressure is big too.

The temp differences not much really to effect the times.

I dont see how pressure can go from 1007 to 1096mbar without some wind either its a change from low to high pressure and there would have to be wind associated with that somewhere at least if not at the measuring spot on the track
