Friday brought us more of the same weather, cloudy, murky conditions trapped under the extensive dome of high pressure that extended eastwards towards Russia. Both day and night were cooler than on Thursday with the thermometer not rising above the 4.9C recorded at 08.00 and sinking to 1.9C at 00.2 early Saturday. The high was 2.2C below average and the low 0.6C above average. It was a dry day, the tenth this month with the UV only registering 0.5.
Saturday morning after a very dark start revealed more murky, misty conditions and little is likely to change during the next twenty-four hours. Once again a calm day is ahead with the air stream backing a few degrees from Friday and coming from the southeast or south-southeast.
The anticyclone is keeping weather fronts at bay and stopping them moving in from the Atlantic where there are signs a depression is developing.
