Forecast for the Southeast.
HIGH 17C |
LOW 12C |
Thursday 19th October 2017.
Thursday should be a little brighter especially late morning but I cannot guarantee a dry day for there will be some bursts of showery rain in places.It will though be quite mild with the tempeature reaching 17C for many. The wind though will gradually pick up from the south to south west during the day.
Thursday evening and night will have variable cloud and still perhaps a shower or two gradually moving away. Friday will be quite breezy with a scattering of showers but not too many. It is overnight and into Saturday that an early warning now of making sure any delicate items in the garden are well protected and outdoor occupations revised for Saturday. It is going to be very windy with gusts exceeding 50 mph.
Weather eye issue 38 is now sent out and I hope subscribers are now enjoying it. It is a 30th anniversary edition with much about the 1987 storm and also about the Jan '87 snows plus 70 years ago the severe 1947 winter.

Ian's eye on the Weather. A daily chat. 16th October 2017
Much of the SE saw some lurid skies PM. Not before it turned out very warm at 21C, about 7C above par for the time of year in quite a few places. Hurricane Ophelia as it moved north to the west of Portugal had picked up dust from the Sahara Desert and smoke from fires over Iberia. As cooler air sped in from the west in our latitudes within Ophelia's circulation the warm air ahead of it was lifted up into a layer at an altitude of about 2000-3000 metres. It was a sandwich of cool air sweeping the warm upwards with cooler air above itr. This effectively trapped in the dust and smoke. It filtered out blue light and gave a reddish look to the sun and a darkening of a frontal cloud bank. Some people thought it looked apocolyptic!
Across in Ireland and on the west coast of Wales winds reached over 90 mph and here it was the wind that made the news.
A good idea for a present this New Year is a pack of Weather eye magazines. Special New Year offering of a pack of issues worth £22 for just £5 and £3 post and packing. A great gift and a good read. Includes the latest issue. Issue 38 is complete and is now out.
Listen out for me on the 29th October, BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on October's weather and a forecast for November.
Have you tried Weather eye magazine. Give it a go. I will send you the latest issue post free and at a reduced price of £2.50- that's got to be a bargain.
