Frosted Earth

Wednesday 12th December 2018. 

Broken cloud and sunny intervals.Chilly.

With high pressure to the east there will be a flow of air from off the Continent over our region.This means somewhat chill conitions but remaining dry. The wind moderate from the south-east.The max temperature will be 6C to 7C. Ovenight variable cloud and clear intervals with the temperature falling close to freezing so a grass frost at least. It will feel colder  still on Thursday with a brisk east to south-east wind and that will depress the max temperature to just 3C to 4C.An air frost is quite likely overnight.

Cold on Friday and later in the day the possibility of some rain ,sleet or snow reaching the west of our region.Snow is more likely on the highest parts of the Downs. It does look like becoming milder but unsettled with rain over the Weekend. 

Weather eye has now been going for 20 years. Issue 1 came out in 1998. I have now finished issue 39. It has been posted to subscribers. See below for the latest front cover-The Singing Ringing Tree, a sculpture that reacts to the wind.

Weather eye makes a good present - why not send a gift pack to any interested friend or relative for Christmas or a birthday.  

Frosted Earth has now moved to Storrington in Sussex which is why the site had not been updated so frequently but should be better now. It was a very hectic time for us. Weather eye issue 39 has been delayed but I am now working on it and it is now complete.Just finalising the proof and it will be printed. Note the change of cover. The Weather station in Coulsdon has shut down after 39 years of recording but Chipstead Valley will continue. A new station has now been set up at Storrington in West Sussex. Subscribers will receive more details soon. Phone number is now 01903 741478.

Ian's eye on the Weather. A daily chat.

What a wet spell we are having. I measured nearly 70 mm since the 27th November and the local river Stor fed by springs bursting out from the chalk Downs is flowing at a high volume. And several other local tributaries are in spate. Mind you we have put this into perspective. Parts of east Surrey had 70mm plus rain in just 24 hours on the 23rd Dec 2013 the greatest daily December fall in the South East on record.

The first issue of Weather eye in 1998.

A good idea for a present this New Year is a pack of Weather eye magazines. A pack of issues worth £22 for just £6 and £3 post and packing. A great gift and a good  read. Includes the latest issue. Tel-01903 741478.

Listen out for me this Sunday 2nd December on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on November's weather and a forecast ahead for the whole of December. 

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.
