Although the breeze picked up on Monday afternoon the morning and evening were very calm after Storm Bert. The thermometer reached a high of 10.8C at 11.42 in the welcome sunshine, which was 0.5C above the average. During the late afternoon and evening the temperature began to drop away to reach a low of 3.0C at 07.17 early Tuesday, which was 1.0C below the average.
It was, thankfully, a dry day with some weak UV light that did trigger the sensor, if briefly, against the no show for the previous two days under the thick, continuous cloud.
Tuesday brought a brought start to the new day with the promise of sunshine as the pressure has been rising due to Storm Bert moving away eastwards with its the centre now over Scandinavia. The barometric pressure has risen 24mb over the past forty-eight hours to read 1014.8mb at 08.00.
A small depression has recently formed off the west coast that will travel across southern England today with an associated weather front that is predicted to bring more rain late evening and overnight. As a result the wind will back from southwest into a southeasterly quadrant as the afternoon progresses but remain light.
Incidentally,the images I have recently uploaded were from the storm in 1984, not from the past weekend, but seemed appropriate.
