Windrush Weather

High pressure is moving away

Friday brought yet another cloudy, dull and cool day with the maximum 2.6C below my 40year average peaking at 4.5C. Only the first three days of January have been above average. The day was dry but not surprisingly no UV light triggered the sensor.

The past night saw the temperature slowly drain way to reach a low of 0.1C at 07.07 on Saturday.

Saturday yet again slowly came into life with thick, low cloud and dim light.

The anticyclone that has been dominating our weather for the past week is slowly emigrating westwards. The barometric pressure has fallen a significant 10mb since Friday at 08.00 with a current reading of 1028.4mb. This change in position will see the wind veer from the northeast into the north and northwest as the day progresses. By late evening and into Sunday the wind will back further into the west, a slightly warmer direction, but only for Sunday.
