The ‘Cold’ weather front arrived just before midday yesterday bringing a dramatic change to the weather. The light rain that started an hour before became heavier, the wind abruptly veered from the south into the north just after midday, gusting to 23mph, and the temperature dropped from a high of 7.9C to 2.2C with a wind chill factor equivalent to -1C. All this occurred as the barometric pressure, that had been falling for two days, abruptly starting climbing again. The rainfall for the past twenty-four hours amounted to 5.4mm.
Overnight, as the cloud cover cleared, the thermometer dropped to 0C with a ground frost. This morning is dawning clear with the sun seen to be rising above the horizon as I write this item. The gloom and thick cloud of the past few days has disappeared, thankfully, with very clear visibility.
