Yesterday saw the anticyclone over Scandinavia begin to exert its influence over the UK as the barometric pressure continued to rise reaching its highest (1030mb) for three weeks and bringing cloud cover from the east as the wind veered further into the northeast mid-morning. The maximum temperature was at 10.53 with a reading of just 4.7C, over 2C below the average. The thermometer then started to fall continuously, but slowly, reaching a low of 0.8C at 08.00. It was the coldest day since 26th January.
This morning the wind is still light but the drier, colder Polar Continental Air has brought reduced humidity, 93% at 08.00, and a wind chill making it feel like -1C. Thick cloud cover means no sunshine after a brief glimpse yesterday morning.
