Windrush Weather

Tuesday was the coldest day since January

The fog really never cleared on Tuesday, just lifted a little improving visibility but not totally dispersing due to low temperatures and little wind. The wind veered into the southeast and was again very light with a maximum gust of just 10mph but also there were long periods of calm.

Not surprisingly the thermometer rose very little during daylight hours with a maximum of just 4.7C being 5.4C below the November average and the coldest day since January 25th. There was very little variation in the diurnal temperature as the minimum was 4.4C, which was 0.7C above the average and a drop of just 0.3C overnight.

First light on Wednesday revealed a repeat of Tuesday with fog again in evidence, slightly less dense at first with visibility limited to 500m but approaching 08.00 it dropped down to only 200m. The breeze is minimal in strength and will back a few degrees to come from the east. The large high pressure over the continent and Russia has continued to affect our weather with the barometric pressure high again with a reading of 1025.1mb at 08.00 and feeding in the cool air.
