The sting in the tail from Storm Kathleen on Sunday was a very blustery day with the wind frequently topping 30+ mph and a peak gust of 42mph at 14.24. However, it was a dry day with ‘Moderate’ AV level. The low of 9.8C at 04.34 early Monday meant a mild night. Both maximum and minimum were above my 40-year average with +0.7C and +6.1C, respectively.
First light on Monday revealed another dull start with total cloud over, left over from Storm Kathleen, which is now centred between Scotland and Iceland.
Later today the next deep depression, currently off the southwest approaches, will bring more unsettled weather with the wind swinging into the southeast. Later this afternoon the wind will begin to pick up again and give us a very stormy day on Tuesday with wind gusting to 40mph+ and backing into the west.
