Quiet weather

Wednesday was another quiet day, as will today, with little wind movement but dry if predominantly cloudy. The thermometer eventually reached a maximum of 15.9C at 15.29 being 1.0C above my 40-year average in the short bursts of sunshine mid-afternoon. The maximum wind movement was 12mph, couldn’t call it a gust. The clearer skies overnight, as before, saw the thermometer drop away steadily to reach a low of 8.9C at exactly 08.00 on Thursday.

Thursday brought us a glorious start to the new day under mainly clear skies and welcome sunshine. The high pressure is still easing away eastwards with a major drop in pressure of 12mb over the last twenty-four hours but still high enough to produce another fine, dry day with the breeze remaining light having backed into the southeast. The air stream will continue to be mild coming from Spain and the Bay of Biscay.The barometric pressure read 1020.6mb at 08.00.
