Windrush Weather

When will the rain stop?

Another 5.9mm of precipitation was recorded over the past twenty-four hours taking the total to 119.8mmm which is 30mm above the long-term average.

There were strong gusts of wind, maximum of 28mph, on the southwesterly breeze.

Both the maximum of 11.6C and the minimum of 6.1C overnight were again above average with +1.5C and 2.4C respectively.

Friday dawned with mainly clear skies and weak sunshine to greet the day. The barometric pressure has been rising again, up 27mb over the past two days, so Friday should be dry and bright.

At the moment there is a cluster of five depressions circulating in the Atlantic, unusual to have so many grouped together. This large weather system combined with high pressure over Iberia will mean a continuation of the southwesterly breeze today.
