It is a cooler start to the day with the air temperature 8.7c at 06:15 hours.  The overnight minimum temperature was 8.5c around daybreak. The good thing is that when we look out of the window first thing this morning … Continue reading →

It is a very cloudy / overcast start to the day and this will bring a slight risk of some early light drizzle.  The risk, however, is only around 10%. As the day passes the air pressure will increase from … Continue reading →

On this date, last year, we recorded the warmest Bank Holiday Monday (25.1c in our area).  Whilst we are unlikely to see any repeat of such elevated temperatures today it is probably a good thing as the majority of us … Continue reading →

It is a bright start to the day, however, if you are going for a walk in the park you may still find it a little damp under foot following yesterday’s rain (around 12mm) and this morning’s dew. So far, … Continue reading →

This morning (at my 06:30 hours observations) started off a lot brighter than yesterday morning and, due to more settled air pressure, the breeze was merely a whisper. It will be  partly cloudy but mild day with a top temperature … Continue reading →

This morning’s observations show that today was the coolest start (11.2c) since the 10th August 2018. This morning is, however, very similar, temperature wise, to the corresponding day in 2016 when the air temperature at 06:27 hours was 11.3c. There … Continue reading →

The overnight / early morning precipitation has certainly left its mark with around 7mm of rain being deposited in our area by 06:30 hours.  The good news (from looking at the rain radar image) is that the main body of … Continue reading →

There will be a gradual change in the surface air pressure as the day passes today.  Starting off at around 1015.3mb the air pressure will reduce to around 1012mb by midnight. This subtle change will help bring a constant breeze … Continue reading →

Today will see a day of ‘settled’ weather as the air pressure will slowly increase from 1014mb to 1016mb as the day passes. There will, however, still some cloud in place but this will vary in density and thickness as … Continue reading →

It is a cloudy but dry start to the day with the air temperature at 06:35 hours a mild 15.8c.  Overnight the minimum temperature was  a mild 15.5c.  These measurements are not too dissimilar to those we enjoyed over the … Continue reading →

It is a wet start to the day with some early morning rain having already fallen in our area by the time I made my observations at approximately 07:12 hours.  The rain radar images clearly show that there is a … Continue reading →
