With the pressure gradient very low due the anticyclone sitting over the UK there was little wind yesterday. A maximum of 9 mph just after 0900 was the strongest gust but the wind reduced as the day progressed and dropped out completely later in the afternoon.
Overnight of the 7th / 8th there was no wind. As happens in these autumnal days a spider or spiders wound a web around my lower anemometer, on a pole high above the roof line, such that with light winds it was put out of action yesterday until I spotted it and removed the web.
