Friday 24th May 2019.
Another dry weather day but with a little less sunshine.The wind fairly gentle from the south and the temperature will rise to 21C to 22C, so feeling quite pleasant. There is just a 10 per cent chance of a light shower during the evening It will be mostly dry overnight- perhaps a mist patch or two out in rural areas by dawn with a low of 8C. Saturday dry for much of the time but a few showers possible during the evening and overnight Saturday.
The Southeast will have the best of the weather this Bank Holiday Weekend though the temperature will be down a notch. There will be much dry weather.Less settled across northern areas of the UK.
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.

Ian's eye on the Weather. A daily chat for the May 2nd 2019.
‘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.

The first issue of Weather eye in 1998.

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.

Weather Saying for April
''The uncertain glory of an April day'. Shakespeare
With sea temperatures still low around the British Isles and much arctic ice during April winds from the north can be very chilly. On the other hand the Continent is warming up and southerly winds can bring real warmth. So April has seen many snowstorms such as in 1981 and more recently heavy snow fell on the 6th in 2008. However real heat waves have occurred such as in 2011 with values above 27C. Convective showers are likely na ny unstable air due to the warming sun and its high altitude but the atmosphere is still chilly hence often steep lapse rates leading to convective showers and quick fire changes.
