Clear skies frost after a cool night

Temp 1.9C, low 1.4C, Barometer 1038mb rising slowly, Wind F1 SSW, Rainfall nil

[johnholmes]

Dry with almost clear sky and an air frost with the current low at -0.7

Bright and sunny start to the day after a far cooler night, currently 0.5c which is down 1.5c on this time yesterday. 

Seems to be a mixture of forecasts for around here today, some going for similar to yesterday - sunny all day, cold start, decent mid-afternoon, temps dropping off into the evening - and a couple of others suggesting there might be some more cloud floating around by lunchtime. With the cooler start to the day I would expect it might be slightly cooler max today too.

We seem to be picking up a strengthening NE/E breeze by mid-afternoon too? MO suggesting 10mph or so 'gusts' just after lunch.

So much for the clear sky; minutes after posting it clouded over and now no sign of the sun. Very little cloud being reported around here. I suspect with where the surface high is predicted to be for a few days this area will have lovely N Sea low cloud-yuk.

We've just had a 20min period of hazy cloud cover here in South London. It's burnt back again now, be interesting to see if this continues throughout the day or not. No cloud is forecast on any weather site for around here all day (at present!), the temperature difference for that 20mins was noticeable even indoors! The skies are presently a more white colour than clear blue too.

Skies clouded over for a while this morning now clearing back to sunny spells.

Mmm, cloud seems to becoming more apparent, seems to be blowing in from the east on what is now a NE/E breeze. Radar seems to show more of it popping up too.

Another lovely spring day once the brief spell of cloud got it's marching orders.

A keen frost leaving a good sunny day

Cold start with a ground frost then a dry sunny day, feeling quite springlike in the afternoon - I was getting a bit warm walking across town wearing a light jumper and a leather jacket. Maximum 12.8, minimum 0.3. Wind light NE.
