Frosted Earth

Wednesday 21st November 2018. 

Still chilly but a little less cold. Bewcoming drier after mmorning showers. Frost overnight.

It was cold on Tuesday and although still on the chilly side on Wednesday it should feel a bit warmer as the wind will be rather lighter and after some morning showers it will be a little brighter PM especially in counties south of the Thames. So the afternoon temperature will rise several degrees higher at 6C to 7C. On Wednesday night some clear spells will lead to an air frost for many at minus 1C. Thursday will warm up a little to 8C with variable cloud and it could stay dry.

It can be very much colder at this time of year and there were several inches of snow lying on the Downs of Surrey on 19th and 20th November in 1985 with even day temperatures below freezing. The temperature has been down to minus 17C in parts of the UK on the 20th/21st November.

Weather eye has now been going for 20 years. Issue 1 came out in 1998. I have now finished issue 39. It is being printed now and I will send them out from Wednesday onwards. See below for the latest front cover-The Singing Ringing Tree, a sculpture that reacts to the wind. 

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.

The first issue of Weather eye in 1998.

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 39 is virtually complete. 

Listen out for me on Sunday 28th October on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on Octobers 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.
