The barometric pressure has been building significantly over the past twenty-four hours with a rise of 10mb to read 1027.6mb at 08.00, the highest for a month, due to an anticyclone centred over France that will dominate our weather for the next few days. The breeze will have backed to southwest or west-southwest today.
