The anticyclone continues to dominate with some hazy sunshine yesterday but with a maximum of 4.6C it was the coldest day since 13th February 2016. This low maximum was 3C below the mean maximum for December and led to a sharp frost overnight with a minimum of -2.4C at 08.00. Also noticeable were the long periods without any wind, in fact the strongest movement was just 5mph. The barometric pressure has changed very little from its peak yesterday morning, with a drop of just 2mb to 1042.7mb at 08.00.
Today dawned with drifting fog of variable visibility but by 09.40 it had cleared with the sun shining in a slightly hazy blue sky.
The fog returned mid-morning with viability down to 300m at times with the thermometer not moving into a positive figure until just before noon.
