Windrush Weather

Ridge of high pressure begins to assert itself

With just 0.6mm of rain on Sunday it was almost a dry day, but not quite, after the deluges of previous days. We have only had five totally dry days in December. The total rainfall this year currently stands at 986.5mm, which is 140mm above the 34 year average.

Both maximum and minimum temperatures over the past twenty-four hours have been above the average with 8.1C (+0.1C) and 5.0C (+2.8C).

The barometric pressure has been rising for the last 36 hours which will dampen out the showers and provide a drier day with, hopefully, some sunny intervals.

Monday arrived with broken cloud and almost still conditions.
