TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

[Stanley]

So far today we have had wall to wall sun but with the saving grace of a light easterly breeze which I must say, is very refreshing!

[Stanley]

Yesterday afternoon the sunny spells continued and we had some broken late sun at nightfall. It was a warm night and this morning we have a light breeze, an overcast sky but dry. The glass has fallen to 1008mb and the forecast is for a mixed day of sunny spells and possible light showers. The showers are expected after 09:00 when the light easterly breeze becomes WSW and increasing to moderate with gusts up to over 30mph for the rest of the day. This will allow us a high of 22C and a low of 11C tonight with as much as -3C wind chill this afternoon. Expect more rain and cooler tomorrow but then the rest of the week looks very similar to today but drier.

We’ve had rain during the night and the air is certainly more breathable this morning, and cooler.

Yesterday we had much more sun than the forecast suggested and the first rain I saw all day was a spatter of big drops at 19:30 as I was going to bed. This morning we have a breeze, broken overcast and it is dry. The glass is up slightly on 1009mb and the forecast is for a cool day of wind and heavy rain. The mostly SW winds will be moderate and gust to almost 35mph giving us a high of 17C and a low tonight of 12C with a wind chill of up to -3C. The outlook for the next six days is more moderate and dry with much less rain and temperatures in the low 20s.

The forecast tells us we are having heavy rain but all that has happened is a light shower, Like you Gloria, it is fine at the moment.

Oh dear - and it's St Swithins day today too.

Though that should end the drought just fine. . . .
