But dissapointed I didn't see the northern lights last night, and that it will likely be cloudy for the eclipse friday still could change though.

Yes was a cold one here last night with everything white over, Just checked and it was actually a little lower due to my error. Never thought it would drop that low given my elevation, And the fact its mounted on a roof mast.. But wont argue with the Davis. A hazy morning with the sun breaking through from time to time after lunch, And a max temp here today of 8.8c.

 

Currently; Dry cloudy.

Temp 6.1c

Wind E/N/E 9mph

Rain Today 0.0mm

In the meantime, more muck, 100 meter visibility and 1.3c

A frosty start at 6, but cloud came over and spoiled the party. Fortunately it started breaking up arou d 10-11 and since then we've had lovely sunshine, a bit hazy but still blue skies. Looks like we'll max out around the 10C mark.

Fingers crossed for the eclipse tomorrow. I'll be close to Birmingham at that time, will probably need to pull over as I will be driving and don't fancy having a prang.

It looks like we will be in a prime spot to see the eclipse in the morning, With cloud cover being less of a problem 

[conor123]

Some hazy smoggy sunshine at times this afternoon after thick fog this morning, frost tonight?

[Midlands Ice Age]

Cool day with the sun appearing at times this pm.

Maximum around 9C

 

Looks like fog here tonight as its misting up already.

That front that was supposed to be over S Scotland/N England at eclipse time has already reached Birmingham. Hmmm....

[Polar Maritime]

Some patchy cloud here this morning, But enough clear slots not to see the eclipse.. Fingers crossed!

 

Temp 4.1c.  

[Midlands Ice Age]

Hi guys

 

Temp 6.1C with very  hazy cloud with the sun peeping thru,

 

Pretty much ideal as the sun dims. I can see the sun thru the cloud with the naked eye.

 

Light bginning to dim now.

 

Will be interesting to see if the temp dips also in the next half an hour.

Temp currently 7.1c here, Yes MIA will be interesting to watch the temp. 

[Midlands Ice Age]

Fantastic crescent 'moon' now. Really is amazing.

Temp dropped from 7.4C to 7.0C in last 8 minutes!

Is it a real effect?

Now past the max and temp is still falling slightly now 6.9c.. now 6.8C and now 6.7C all in the last 3 mins.

Cannot look any further at the sun with the naked eye as the sky is now clearing.

Now it is 6.6C. Thats just about a one degree C cooling in 15 minutes.

MIA

Edit and now 6.5C and the sun is not obscurred by cloud at all!!

So it is a definate effect.

Seems to be holding at 6.5C for the last 5 mins, so I think the effect is over at exactly 1.0C.

For info my recorder is at 6ft 6inches in height so no ground effect involved and the wind during the eclipse was 0.0 to 1.1 K/p h max (so nothing)

Edit last messge is at 9:45

Dropped to 6.6c from 7.1c here, Gone very dull.

[conor123]

Absolutely glorious day, was not expecting this, just a few fluffy cumulus otherwise blue sky and 11c but feels warmer.

[Staffordshire]

Nice day today, intermittent cloud amongst the predominantly sunny weather

[conor123]

Yuck, the opposite today, every Sunday so far this year sunless and grey, was meant to be nice today to *sigh*

The sun is coming Conor, patience. I can see the clear sky coming from the west right now.
