Frosted Earth

Tuesday 3rd June 2020  

Quite  a change in the weather on Tuesday. The clear sunny skies that we have enjoyed for so long will be replaced by cloudy conditions and there could be some showers in places. Perhaps a heavy one but some localities could stay dry and many may not have much of a wetting at all. So limited joy for gardeners desperate for rain  The wind will blow from the north and with all the cloud the temperature may only rise to 17C and that in the first half of the morning and tending to fall PM to 15C. This is about 10C cooler than Monday.

Overnight a good deal of cloud with still the risk of a shower. The temperature will fall to 10C. Wednesday will again be rather cloudy, cool and windy with a few showers possible. The maximum may only reach 14C perhaps 15C. More like late March than the beginning of summer.Still cool and rather unsettled up to and over the Weekend.

Stay safe- stay well.

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.

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 31st 2020 on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show. I will look back on May's weather and give a forecast for the whole of June. 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.

On This Day- June 3rd 1953.

A bitterly cold day with a low over Holland and high to the WNW giving a northerly airstream. Many places had a max. of 10C (50F) or less. At Aberdeen it was only 7C and 8C(46F) at Birmingham.

In 1962 in a similar airstream the mercury fell to minus 5.6C (22F) at Santon Downham (Norfolk). The mercury fell to minus 1C at Dartford,,Kent and many plants were damaged by the frosts across England.

As a contrast 34.4C(94F) was measured in London and Waddington (Lincs) in 1947.
