Monday 17th February 2020
A day of sunny spells but expect some showers and they could have some hail in them. It will be windy too with gusts to 35 mph or 40 mph and along the South Coast they could peak at 50 mph from the west- southwest. Although the temperature will reach 9C to 10C, very respectable for the time of year, the wind will make it feel cooler. Overnight clear spells and down to 3C to 4C with perhaps some grass frost in sheltered valleys and Tuesday will be similar to Monday's weather.I think Wednesday will be the best day of the week for dry conditions, light winds and some sunshine.
Weather eye makes a good present - why not send a gift pack to any interested friend or relative for a birthday.
Weather eye Issue 40 is now out and has been posted.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. There is an article of mine about 'Ice' currently featured in the November Issue of 'Landscape magazine'.

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- Out today.
