High 17C Low 10C. |

Friday 14th June 2019.
It should be brighter on Friday but still a threat of some showers and one or two could be heavy most of them being well inland from the south coast and especially from the North Downs northwards across the Thames Valley to the Chilterns. It will be a little warmer than the past few days as there will be some sunny spells and the wind a little lighter. Max of 17C to 18C. Overnight any showers should die away to leave clear spells and a low of 10C. A similar day on Saturday.
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.
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. Weather eye issue 40 I am now working on. However very few articles have been sent in so I am having to write a lot myself which will take time. I would love to receive some material.
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.

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.
Above: An 'orange' world near Littlehampton on the 28th Feb 2019. The setting sun illuminating the mist, pebbles,sea and sky.
The first issue of Weather eye in 1998.
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 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.
The Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley Lancashire. This is the front cover of Weather eye issue 39.
On This Day- June 14th 1969
A slack pressure gradient over England and some violent thunderstorms developed. At Worsborough Dale,Yorkshire 59mm of rain fell in 45 mins a very rare fall. Penny sized hail wrecked gardens in Barnsley.Several people were killed by lightning including in Staffordshire and in the Clent Hills near Birmingham.
Again quite locally, on the 14 June 1965 at Wadebridge, Cornwall 140mm of rain fell in 220 minutes, in another similar event to Boscastle, which is very close by.
In 1914 a violent storm in south London caused much death and destruction. In the area of Wandsworth Common 7 persons died from lightning strikes. 94 mm of rain fell at Richmond Park-50mm in 45mins. Walnut sized hail fell.
