Autumn is here

With misty mornings and rain showers, the season of autumn is firmly established thanks to a succession of low pressure systems crossing the country. For the next few days our weather will be dominated by a large depression just off the coast of Ireland, therefore the unsettled weather will continue. The high and low of yesterday were 16.2C (+1.5C) and 6.3C (-1.0C). An additional 1.9mm of rainfall was recorded taking the monthly total to 97.6mm being 7.4mm above the 39-year average.

Fog formed in the River Og valley by 17.45 on Thursday evening thanks to the saturated atmosphere due to the rain showers and the temperature beginning to fall.

Friday revealed a misty view across the downs with full cloud cover and calm conditions. The wind will have veered into the southwest when the air begins to move.
