The pool of cold air trapped under the high pressure dome still influenced our weather on Saturday with continuing thick cloud and murky conditions. The thermometer eventually reached a high of 3.2C at 12.02 with no further rise due to lack of any sunshine, which was 5.0C below my long-term average. Any warmth seeped away during the evening to reach a low, unusually just before midnight, with 0C exactly at 22.54, which was 1.3C below average and produced a ground frost. The very calm conditions continued with very little air movement.
The dawn eventually arrived on Sunday, once again under low, thick cloud giving misty and murky conditions.
The high pressure is very slowly ebbing away, a drop o f10mb since yesterday but will continue to influence our weather for another couple of days.
There are signs that low pressure systems are developing in the Atlantic that will bring more changeable weather later in the week with possible rain and increased wind. It is possible that as they deepen they will combine forces resulting in much stronger winds that could arrive on Friday.
