Windrush Weather

Murky, mild weather continues

Tuesday was another cool day irrespective of the light southerly air stream. The thermometer stayed around 8C all, day rising overnight to a peak of 9.4C, which was 1.2C below the average.

The low f 6.4C was 4C above the 39-year average.

Further rain fell amounting to 3.4mm that took the month total to 112.1mm making it the third wettest March since my records began in 1984. The rainfall forecast on Wednesday is likely to change that to the second wettest.

Wednesday dawned with low cloud draping the Marlborough Downs and Savernake Forest. Between 07.00 and 08.00 the visibility improved only for it to fall significantly after 08.00 for a brief time as the thick cloud base dropped.

The high pressure of Monday is a distant memory as the deep depression in mid Atlantic closes in on the UK with three weather fronts ahead of it’s centre passing over the UK today.

I am very pleased that after a wait of several months the modified software is now allowing the considerable month/year graphs and associated data to be accessed.
