The light airstream from the east and minimal sunshine meant a cool day on Tuesday that saw both the maximum of 7.2C logged at 13.32 and the minimum of 0.2C logged at 00.15 early Wednesday were below my long-term average with -0.8C and -2.2C respectively. Thankfully it was a very calm day with the greatest air movement logged at just 7mph, couldn’t call it a gust of wind.
Wednesday began with total cloud cover with the air movement coming from the southwest but again calm. Overnight the change of wind direction resulted on the thermometer rising after the low at 00.15 to reach 4.7C at 08.00.
A deep depression has formed in the eastern Atlantic and will proceed northeastwards, heading between Scotland and Iceland, thus influence our weather during the coming evening with the wind strengthening considerably and a few hours of steady rain overnight. Its central pressure was 975mb at midnight and forecast to top to 970mb by midday, a very low pressure.The barometric pressure read 1026.4mb at 08.00, the highest all month, but will soon begin to drop as the depression approaches.
