Yet another weather front!

The anticyclone maintained pressure over the UK yesterday giving a very still day with the anemometer, which is 4 metres above the ridge of the building, registering the strongest movement of air at just 4mph. The day was marked by very thick cloud that was low enough to cover the Marlborough Downs with a cloud base that occasionally lifted to improve visibility from 200m to 1000m until early afternoon. Mid-afternoon the cloud thinned to give a brief bright interval that just triggered the sunshine recorder before falling out again. The thermometer gave a maximum of 9.6C yesterday some 3C above the mean for January.
The minimum overnight occurred just before midnight with a reading of 6.7C but then started to rise heralding the arrival of yet another weather front. The wind has backed into the south and picked up with a gust of 17mph as the barometer dropped 10mb over the past twenty-four hours. The cloud base has lifted improving visibility markedly.
