Frosted Earth

Saturday 4th April 2020  

A dry day with sunny spells- perhaps some mist along the South Coast and on South Downs. Warmer than recent days with a max of 15C for many in a moderate south wind. Some mistiness or low cloud over night though some places north of London may have some clear spells and here a little on the chilly side but a general figure of 4C to 6C. Sunday though will be warmer with 17C or 18C likely well inland from the Channel coast. Overnight and early Monday some rain is likely as a frontal system moves north eastwards followed by drier weather for much of Monday and over much of the coming week. The temperature will remain well up for the time of year. 

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 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- Out today.

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 May 3rd 2020 on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show. I will look back on April's weather and give a forecast for the whole of May. Check the time as it may be an hour later at 10.50 hrs due to the current medical emergency. 

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.
