Windrush Weather

Another cool and damp day on Wednesday – not Summer!

As the deep depression on Wednesday, lowest barometric pressure at 12.50 of 984.1mb, moved eastwards the wind began to veer into the northwest, a cooler direction. As a result the maximum of 19.2C was 3.4C below the 39-year average. The peak wind gust was 20mph, not as strong as either south as ww were close to the centre.

An additional 7.4mm of rain was recorded taking the total after two days to 12.6mm.

Although we are now in a cooler airstream the temperature held up overnight thanks to residual warmth in the ground so a minimum of 13.8C was 2.0C above the average.

Thursday arrived with cloudy skies and the barometric pressure rising as the centre of the depression, over southern Sweden at 08.00, thus the wind coming from the northwest as the air circulates anticlockwise around a low pressure centre.
