Frosted Earth

Wednesday 22nd May 2019.

A dry weather day with sunny spells- a similar day to Tuesday.The wind just a gentle breeze and the temperature will be up to 21C so feeling very pleasant if you like warm weather. Just a bit of a warning- the sun is very powerful at this time of year so watch out if you are in the sun for an extended period as you could become sunburnt so some sunscreen is necessary. It will be dry overnight- perhaps a mist patch or two out in rural areas by dawn with a low of 8C and then another similar day on Thursday.    

Issue 1 came out in 1998. See below for the latest front cover of issue 39-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 a birthday.  

Frosted Earth has now moved to Storrington in Sussex.  Weather eye issue 40 I am now working on. However very few articles have been sent in so I am having to write a lot myself which will take time. I would love to receive some material.

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.

 ‘My memory on this day in 1979, 2nd May.

In 1979 with low pressure to the east  there was a very cold northerly airstream. Places above around 125metres ( 400 feet) on the North Downs in Surrey had a snow cover during the morning from overnight falls. I  ran a weather station at Caterham then where it was very wintery looking during the morning. On Reigate Hill in Surrey snow lay several cms deep. Snow even fell at Guernsey in the Channel Islands up to 4cm deep. At Blackwood, Gwent, snow was lay to a depth of 8cm and people were skiing.

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 28th April on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on April's weather and a forecast ahead for the whole of May. 

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.
