High 9°C. |

Monday 10th December 2018.
A dry day with sunny intervals.
After the unsettled conditons of the past week Monday will be a quiet day with sunny intervals. A rise of pressure should see a ridge established across us fending off any eastward movement of Atlantic frontal systems. The max will be around 9C to 10C. Ovenight variable cloud and clear spells and the temperature will drop to around 4C to 6C. Rather cloudy but dry on Tuesday and the dry weather will extend to Wednesday as well so a chance to dry out a bit.
Weather eye has now been going for 20 years. Issue 1 came out in 1998. I have now finished issue 39. It has been posted to subscribers. See below for the latest front cover-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 Christmas or a birthday.
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 complete.Just finalising the proof and it will be printed. Note the change of cover. 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. Subscribers will receive more details soon. Phone number is now 01903 741478.
Frosted Earth would like to point out that due to that new regulations on protection of your personal data comes into force today.

Any subscriber who decides not to continue with Weather eye has his or her details deleted.

Ian's eye on the Weather. A daily chat.
What a wet spell we are having. I measured nearly 70 mm since the 27th November and the local river Stor fed by springs bursting out from the chalk Downs is flowing at a high volume. And several other local tributaries are in spate. Mind you we have put this into perspective. Parts of east Surrey had 70mm plus rain in just 24 hours on the 23rd Dec 2013 the greatest daily December fall in the South East on record.
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 2nd December on BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex, just after 0945 hrs on the 'Dig It' show giving a look back on November's weather and a forecast ahead for the whole of December.
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- December 6th 1976
An unstable southwesterly airstream covered southern England and ireland with some heavy showers. In Wexford a thunderstorm led to much lightning damage. One particular flash was “like a blue ball of fire”. At Eype in Dorset a small tornado picked up a shed and threw it into a road.
In 1898 the minimum temperature in London [Kensington] was 12C[54F]. A tornado at Beaminster in 1904. It tore off roofs and damaged an orchard.
Severe gales in 1929 with 111mph at the Isles of Scilly as deep low down to 950 mb moved NE over western districts. Mean speed of 70 mph at Falmouth with gust to 103 mph.
