Saturday gave us the last, for the moment, of the warm, sunny and dry days that saw the thermometer rise to a maximum of 16.4C at 14.35 before the cloud built up. This peak was 1.5C above my 40-year average and the warmest day forever a week. It was also a dry day with Moderate UV level at its peak. The past night was very mild that saw the thermometer not drop below 11.2C at 07.37 on Sunday mooning. being 3.8C above average.
Sunday revealed the significant change in our weather as the deep depression just to the west of Ireland throws cloud across the country so no sunshine to greet the new day as recently.
There are three weather fronts about to cross the UK today so little chance of sunshine, just total cloud cover for most of the day. The barometric pressure has dropped significantly, now down to 1001.2mb at 08.00, a drop of 21mb sine the 2nd, as the depression approaches the UK.
It now looks as if the track of ex-hurricane Kirk will take it further south than previously estimated, thus impacting France more then the UK. Later in the week this is likely to bring more disturbed weather.
