Hoorah! Highest barometric pressure for a month

Monday brought a maximum of 11.2C, still above average (+1.0C) and minimal rainfall of 0.6mm. The past night was also above average, well above average (+4.4C) with a minimum of 8.3C at 7.03 Tuesday.

The barometric pressure has been rising significantly since Monday as the depression that brought the rain continues to cross the continent and down over Italy later today. This is being replaced by a high pressure system to the west of the UK.

Tuesday arrived dull with total cloud cover but the the barometric pressure reading of 1022.6mb at 08.00 was the highest since 16th October and continues to rise, producing a ridge across the UK that will bring us a drier period. So far just three dry days in November, will today be the fourth? Just after 01.30 the wind veered from the northwest to north that saw the temperature drop a couple of degrees in the early hours.
