Although Friday was dry and bright, with variable sunshine, the cool pool of air still dominated our weather, after a very cold start with -0.4C, with a maximum of 12.8C being 2.1C below my 40-year average. This high was a degree up on the peak of Thursday. Cloud overnight limited the loss of limited warmth with the thermometer not sinking below 7.1C just after midnight.
Saturday revealed a cloudy start to the day with some precipitation possibly imminent from a narrow band of light rain mid-morning, changing to dry and sunny mid-afternoon. The wind will veer from the south into the west or possibly north-northwest as the day progresses.
The high pressure is fading under the influence of low pressure systems to the north and south of the UK. The barometric pressure has dropped 9mb since Friday with a reading of 1008.4mb at 08.00.
