Frosted Earth

Sunday 21st October 2018 

Fog slowly dispersing then sunny spells.

A foggy start and chilly too but I expect it to clear during the morning as it did Saturday and many places could have sunny spells PM. The temperature will rise to a respectable 16C.The wind light and variable bercoming light west to south-west. Overnight not quite as chilly as a band of cloud will move south-east as a very weak frontal system crosses us. Min of 6C to 7C. High pressure will prevail next week but less likely for fog to form as the wind increases a little. Could be very chilly next Weekend. 

 Weather eye has now been going for 20 years. Issue 1 came out in 1998. I have now virtually finished issue 39 and it will not be long for the final corrections and then printed.

Frosted Earth has now moved to Storrington in Sussex which is why the site had not been updated so frequently but should be better now. It was a very hectic time for us. Weather eye issue 39 has been delayed but I am now working on it and it is now virtually complete. 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 Storrigton in West Sussex. Subscribers will receive more details soon. Phone number is now 01903 741478.

 Ian's eye on the Weather. A daily chat.

 The first issue of Weather eye in 1998.

 A good idea for a present this New Year is a pack of Weather eye magazines. Special New Year offering of a pack of issues worth £22 for just £5 and £3 post and packing. A great gift and a good  read. Includes the latest issue. Issue 39 is virtually complete. 

Listen out for me on Sunday 28th October on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on Octobers weather and a forecast ahead for the whole of November. 

 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- October 21st 1638

A stormy day over the South-west  with thunderstorms in many places.  One thunderstorm developed a tornado which swept through Widecomb-in-the-Moor. The church stood in the path and there was a full congregation. A storm battered the church with large hail and it received a direct hit from lightning. A tornado then hit and the tower was demolished showering huge blocks of stone onto the church goers.

Warm tropical maritime air flooded W. Scotland and was uplifted over the mountains 163mm at Glen Etive 1971
