Saturday 24th October 2020.  

Saturday will be windy with gusts PM to 35 mph and some rain will spread eastwards later in the day with some showers ahead of the main rain area. Watch out for some heavy squally rain when it arrives and the gusts of wind will increase to at least 50 mph more or less anywhere and I cannot rule out the odd tornadic occurrence as the active frontal system moves east. With the wind coming in from the south to southwest it will be mild for the time of year with a max of 16C.

The rain will clear by late evening burt some showers could occur in far south later in the night.Tomorrow Sunday will be brighter but expect some heavy and blustery showers especially in counties adjacent to the Channel coast. A little cooler and still brisk winds. A very unsettled week ahead is likely.

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

In these extraordinary times staying in can be pleasurable with a pack of Weather eye magazines. They are a good read and they may stimulate an interest in the Weather for all the family. Posted out to you in a presentation plastic wallet which also provides a useful storage. Only £8 for 6 assorted issues inclusive of postage. I am now working on Issue 41. I am now almost finished and will be at the proof stage early this coming week.

I recorded a wind gust of 60 mph early evening on Saturday 10th August 2019 at Rottingdean, just east of Brighton. Huge seas were pounding the walls of the Brighton Marina. This is the illustration on the front cover of Issue 40 of Weather eye magazine.

 Above:  Large cumuliform clouds leading to heavy showers building in the distance over the North Downs as seen from the South Downs at Chanctonbury Hill. Taken around 17.00 hrs on the 15th June. It was sunny most of the day on the South Downs and across the south of Sussex, a typical situation in the summer with the Channel preventing showers forming for quite some way inland.

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 on Sunday Nov 1st 2020 on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 1045 hrs on the 'Dig It' show. I will look back on October's weather and give a forecast for the whole of November. Check the time as shedules could change due to the current medical emergency.
