Windrush Weather

All change on Sunday – gone the gloomy, depressing weather

Saturday game us the last of the very gloomy, dismal, damp days with the cloud base lowering in the afternoon restricting visibility to 2000m.

The barometric pressure has slowly been falling as the anticyclone eases away to the near continent. This resulted in the moment of air beginning to increase with early Sunday a gust of 18mph,the strongest since 17th January.

In the early hours of Sunday a rain band approached producing 1.2mm of precipitation between 05.30 and 06.00.

After dawn on Sunday the cloud from the earlier rain band could be seen moving off eastwards replaced by broken, higher cloud, thankfully not the thick, gloomy cloud of previous days. Waiting in the wings is another weather front that will bring rain in from the west later in the morning.
