Windrush Weather

Gloomy, dull weather

The overcast sky with thick, low cloud meant a gloomy, dull day on Saturday. With no sunshine and a cool westerly air movement, too weak to call a breeze, it was a distinctly cool day with the thermometer only rising to 4.6C, which was 2.4C below the average.

It was another dry day with minimal UV registering just 0.5.

Overnight the temperature dropped fractionally to a minimum of 3.3C at 03.40 Sunday but recovered slightly to 4.2C at 08.00.

Sunday began even gloomier than Saturday with the cloud so low that it masked the Marlborough Downs and Savernake Forest producing light drizzle just after 08.00. This was due to a cold front crossing the area from the Northwest. The barometric pressure has continued to fall slowly with a pressure reading a 08.00 of 1029.3mb, down 11mb since its peak on Tuesday.
