HIGH 25C |
LOW 14C |
Monday 21st 2014. Sunny intervals.
Not as warm as late but still fairly pleasant and it should be mostly dry but I cannot rule out one or two showers. The temperature will be around 23C to 24C in sunny intervals and fall tonight to 14C. Tuesday should be dry and bright with sunny spells and the temerpature will be around 25C but east of Chelmsford and Maidstone it could well be more cloudy and cooler here.
The wind north west veering by tomorrow to north-east or east at 10 mph.
Remarkably no air frost observed in February, the first winter month ever to be frost free in the area. 20C was reached on March 9th. However there was an air frost on Saturday May 3rd and in the Chipstead Valley it fell to minus 2.2C.
Issue 33 of Weather eye is now out and it is the best edition yet in my opinion. I am now sending them out to subscribers with about 95 per cent done now. Apologies for the length of time it is took but there was so much material due to the very eventful winter.It has increased pages- 12 more than some previous issues.There is another competition with weather related prizes.
This type of altocumulus called catellatus or castellanus often heralds thunder as occurred on the 18th July 2014 just one hour after the picture was taken at Coulsdon.
Some recent weather facts.
23rd December 2013 brought 71.6mm of rain, the wettest day in my weather station's history back to 1979.In Leatherhead it reached 75mm and this has not been exceeded in Surrey during December in a hundred years or so.
With 589.9mm it was by far the wettest winter in east Surrey exceeding the second highest 1914/15 with 505mm and 3rd placed 1995 with 400mm. January at 235.5mm was the wettest of any month and February was the wettest since 1951 with 155.2mm and 3rd wettest back to at least the 1870s.The previous December was the 2nd wettest in the same time span at 199.2mm.
Extraordinarily February away from the prone valleys had no air frost in east Surrey the first time any winter month has been frost free.
