Saturday 27th September
Friday was a day best to forget, weatherise, as it was overcast all day that limited any rise in warmth as the maximum of 13.6C was a significant 5.4C below average logged at 14.22. It was also very cool overnight with a minimum of 5.6C logged at 04.59 early Saturday, which was 3.1C below average.

We have now experienced a week with maxima below average, sometimes significantly below average, also a week with every minimum temperature below average with ground frost in the early hours of two days, all thanks to the plume of Arctic air brought on a northeasterly air stream.

Saturday arrived very dull with misty conditions having developed in the early hours, which will take a time to clear. In fact it will be a mainly cloudy, cool day although the air steam having veered into the southwest should mean a slightly warmer day, but not average.

The periphery of the high pressure has weakened further that will allow a cold weather front to cross the UK later today, which will increase the cloud cover and possibly bring light precipitation in the evening although the front is narrowing on its eastwards track.

The future next week looks much brighter with the possibility of high pressure returning that will produce a sunnier and warmer week.
