Hi all,

A quick blog this week. Some better days coming up over the next few days and eventually the very mild weather will ease away.

There were some signs of high pressure building in later this weekend and into next week, but now this is looking like it could be delayed and certainly not in the more reliable timeframe. If high pressure does build out to the east and become quite strong, there’s a good chance that the second half of November is colder.

Meanwhile, we will continue to look to our southwest for the weather.

Thursday: Not a bad day with some bright spells during the morning, then it will tend to cloud over from the south, but it should stay dry for most, apart from the old shower and again another mild one. Max 16°C Min 12°C

Friday: Another mostly cloudy day and we are likely to see a few bands of showers drifting northeast. Still mild for the time of year but a little bit cooler. Max 14°C Min 8°C Max Gusts 20mph.

Weekend: Reasonable.

Saturday: Caught in between weather systems really with pressure higher over to our east, and low pressure systems queueing up out in the Atlantic. Bright spells, a slight breeze and just a chance of an afternoon shower. Max 13°C Min 9°C Max Gusts 20mph

Sunday: Very little change but cloud will tend to thicken towards evening ahead of some light rain overnight. Max 13°C Min 9°C Max Gusts 20mph

Outlook: At this stage the outlook is quite difficult to pin down. It all depends on where this high pressure to our east builds and how stubborn it becomes. With higher pressure to the east, this should encourage holding off weather-fronts from the Atlantic. But I do expect a few weakening weather-fronts to sneak across the country and bring some cloud and patchy rain. Temperatures look likely to sit around the teens with no sign of anything significantly colder. But, we could tap into some cooler air later in the week, if the high pressure builds and drifts slightly westwards.
