Wednesday 23rd September 2020.
The long dry spell is coming to an end as are the very warm temperatures.With the air pressure falling some rain or showers are going to work across the region over the next 24 hours and they could give some heavier bursts. Tonight the cloudy skies will keep the temperature up at 12C to 13C and tomorrow will reach 17C to 18C which is about par for the time of year. Most of our region will receive at least some rain as a frontal ssytem moves east. The wind will be from the south -south west at 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph veering to the west. Thursday will be unsettled and there is going to be more rain spreading east with quite brisk winds too with gusts to 35 mph and the temperature will be down a few degrees too on Wednesday's values. Yes, autumn has arrived with cool conditions for Friday and Saturday.

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.

Above: Large cumuliform clouds leading to heavy showers building in the distance over the North Downs as seen from the South Downs at Chanctonbury Hill. Taken around 17.00 hrs on the 15th June. It was sunny most of the day on the South Downs and across the south of Sussex, a typical situation in the summer with the Channel preventing showers forming for quite some way inland.
The first issue of Weather eye in 1998.

On This Day- September 20th 1919
A plunge of northerly winds led to widespread snow on all hills in the west and north of the UK with it lying several inches deep on Exmoor and Dartmoor. In Shropshire the Clee Hills were bedecked in snow and it lay in the early morning down to near 100 metres. Deep snow lay on Mount Snowdon in north Wales. The mercury did not rise much above 7C (45F) in parts of Scotland.
A small active low crossed southern England in 1973 and gave a record daily rainfall to Kent. At West Stourmouth 190.7mm (7.51 inches) of rain fell.
