Anticyclone builds

The anticyclone now over France continued to feed moist, warm for over the country on Friday on a very light southwesterly that saw the thermometer, during daylight hours, climb just above average (+0.9C) with a maximum of 8.8C. During the night the warmth continued to build with the thermometer reaching 9.4C by 08.00 Saturday making it equal warmest start to a day this month.

Saturday once again brought us a dull and dark start to the new day. The barometric pressure read 1040.0mb at 08.00, the highest since 6th February. The very quiet air movement from the southwest will continue.
