With a maximum of just 2.9C at 13.33 on Thursday it really felt like winter with that low being 4.2C below my long-term average. Thankfully, there was only a light breeze from the north during daylight hours that limited windchill. A clear sky for most of the night meant the thermometer dropped steadily downwards with the minimum, surprisingly not around dawn but 04.48 early Friday, with a low of 4.1C being a significant 5.4C below the 40-year average. After that time the temperature slowly rose to reach a temperature of -2.6C at 08.00, which I think was due to lack of any breeze in the early hours that then began to rise gently to stir up the air mass.
Friday after dawn revoked anther clear sky with more sun after it decides to rise above the horizon.
The anticyclone is still midway between the UK and America but a slight repositioning means that the breeze will come from the west today. The barometric pressure has risen 8mb since yesterday so another dry and sunny day ahead although a cold front is very slowly moving down from the north that is likely to bring sone broken cloud late afternoon and into the evening.
The projected arrival of some sleet and snow, if short-lived during Saturday evening, is now looking more positive.
P.S. The ‘Daily Stats’ sheet for 2025 will reappear in the near future when my webmaster reopens for business after the Christmas Break. I don’t have that expertise, I just fill in the blanks!
