Frosted Earth

Tuesday 19th November 2019.

It should be dry but it will be chilly with a frost early and late. Some mist and fog at first especially in rural areas and yes it will stay dry. Min of minus 2C to minus 3C and the weather will be similar on Wednesday. The wind will be light but some moderate gusts PM exacerbating the chill.

The ridge of high pressure responsible for the dry weather will remain until mid week. It will become more unsettled by the weekend and especially so next week but the temperature will rise later on as the wind direction becomes more from the south and strengthens somewhat.

Issue 1 came out in 1998. See below for the latest front cover of issue 39-The Singing Ringing Tree, a culpture that reacts to the wind.

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

Frosted Earth has now moved to Storrington in Sussex.  

I am currently working on Weather eye Issue 40. It is proceeding rather slowly though as sadly a number of my key contributors have passed away this year. They were the lifeblood of Weather eye and will be sadly missed. I am pressing on getting the pages sorted and hope to have much of it done this coming week. Update- I have now completed about 95 per cent and pressing on with it being completed this week.

There is an article of mine about 'Ice' currently featured in the November Issue of 'Landscape magazine'.

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. Phone number is now 01903 741478.

 I recorded a wind gust of 60 mph early evening on Saturday 10th August at Rottingdean, just east of Brighton. Huge seas were pounding the walls of the Brighton Marina.

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 on Sunday 27th October 2019 on 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 ahead for the whole of 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.
