Frosted Earth

Saturday 25th September 2021.

A good deal of cloud today but there will be some sunny intervals especially away from hills facing the south west wind. Where the sun appears it will become warm at 23C or even 24C but even where it remains cloudy it will feel quite mild and rather humid with a temperature reaching 21C. Some mist on the hills early on and perhaps a little light drizzle. 

Overnight rather cloudy wih some mist on hills but mild wih a low not falling less than 14C to 15C. Sunday should have some sunny intervals and again quite warm but the wind and cloud will be increasing and later on Sunday night rain is going to spread east and could be heavy to give a wet start on Monday and a fairly unsettled week to come.

On This Day- Sept 25th 1885

There was widespread frost and some snow in what was an unusually cold spell for the time of year. Even in London wet snow was reported and an observer at Wallington in Surrey reported seeing some.

By contrast the 1895 heat wave sent the temperature up to 29.4C in Brixton, London.

After a poor summer the highest temperature of the year was measured on this day for 1907 in the London area at  just 25.4C.
