Saturday was noted for the almost absence of any word, a maximum gust of just 9mph was logged on one occasion. However, the air stream from the northwest was cool limiting the thermometer rose to 3.6C being 3.5C below my 40-year average. It was another pf the dull days with no UV light logged or global sunshine. A low of 1.0C occurred at 00.10 on Sunday that had lived to 1.4C by 08.00.
Once more the new day was greeted by dark, dull conditions under a very thick blanket of cloud. A warm weather front passed over our area in the early hours succeeded by a cold weather front passing late morning which will a change in our weather. Around noon and early afternoon the wind will veer into the northwest or north northwest heralding a short, colder spell of weather.
The recent anticyclone has long departed and we are now coming under the influence of a depression in mid-atlantic, hence a further pressure drop of 12mb since yesterday, with a current reading at 08.00 of 1016.2mb, a drop of some 24mb since its peak
