Saturday will be mostly dry with some sunshine AM but cloud will increase PM and rain will move across the region during Saturday night with strong gusts of wind to 35 mph to 40 mph.

Sunday is a day of sunshine and a few squally showers. Some localities may stay dry but some very strong winds expected.Later some rmore widespread showery outbreaks of rain will move across the region in what will be a very windy night. Max temperature of 11C. Gusts could reach 40 mph perhaps 50 mph or more during the night. 

Issue 1 came out in 1998. See below for the latest front cover of issue 39-The Singing Ringing Tree, a culpture that reacts to the wind.

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

Frosted Earth has now moved to Storrington in Sussex.  

I have been working on Weather eye Issue 40. It is now complete and is being printed. Sorry for the delay. It was due to a number of my key contributors having passed away this year. They were the lifeblood of Weather eye and will be sadly missed. Update- Being printed.

There is an article of mine about 'Ice' currently featured in the November Issue of 'Landscape magazine'.

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. Phone number is now 01903 741478.

 I recorded a wind gust of 60 mph early evening on Saturday 10th August at Rottingdean, just east of Brighton. Huge seas were pounding the walls of the Brighton Marina.

Listen out for me on Sunday 27th October 2019 on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on October's weather and a forecast ahead for the whole of November.

On This Day- December 4th 1962 

The last great London Smog lay thick over the capital. With an area of high pressure extending west from the Continent. It was dense with visibility 10 metres or less. All London buses, 5,000 of them, recalled to their garages. Thousands of cars were abandoned and after fog cleared 3,000 vehicles  could not be started and called AA. Smoke and sulphur dioxide concentrations 10-14 times normal levels. Death rate increased markedly with an estimation of 1,000 deaths caused by the smog. The fog was quite shallow with hills higher than 100 metres in sunshine. Even in London the temperature stayed below freezing.
