The blocking high continued to keep the weather fronts at bay on Friday but maintained the dark, dull and gloomy conditions of thick, low cloud. The temperature fell away in the early hours of Friday stabilising around 7C for much of the day and night. A maximum of 7.4C was logged at 10.01 being the first below average peak since the 5th, which was 2.8C below my 40-year average. The minimum of 6.7C was logged at 07.14 early Saturday being 2.7C above average.
The past twenty-four hours has produced a minimal diurnal range, the difference between day and night extremes, of just 0.5C. For the third time in November the UV strength was insufficient to trigger the UV sensor.
Saturday first light revealed that the overcast conditions had not changed with low, thick cloud still in evidence. The air movement will be variable from the north and east but still minimal in strength. The air mass continues to be a little less humid with a reading of 93% at 08.00, the lowest this month.
The high pressure that has dominated our weather for the past week or so is still slowly declining that is allowing a weather front to very slowly edge in from the west. The forecast is for a modest improvement in light and UV strength Sunday afternoon.
