Windrush Weather

Down, down go the temperatures

The temperatures have been falling for the past three days as the cooler air steam takes effect. The maximum of 9.2C was the lowest for a week but still 1.2c above the average. The brisk northeasterly breeze meant it felt cool outside with a touch of wind chill. It was the fourth consecutive day without sunshine under the grey, low cloud base.

The minimum overnight of 6.9C was also above average (+4.6C) thanks to the cloud cover.

Saturday dawned grey with very low cloud producing misty conditions that limited visibility to 1800m. The drier air of Friday with humidity of 82% at 08.00 has been replaced by humidity onD Saturday at 08.00 of 97%. The centre of the anticyclone has edged eastwards with the barometric pressure dropping to 1039.4mb at 08.00, a fall of just 2mb from its peak on Friday.
