I know there have been local variations (fabulous in Graham's area, no
doubt!) but generally this HP has brought not particularly nice weather to
the SE. It has been often cloudy with that sapping heat and humidity that
always seems to rise at night. The pressure has stuck around 1020mb which is
no big deal. The summer weather type that seems distinctly missing in recent
years is a dry easterly with clear blue skies, nice breeze and pleasant
temps in the low to mid twenties. Is it nostalgia or do I remember my
barometer occasionally almost reaching 31" (old money) - although that was
probably in winter. In fact isn't the above weather synopsis also what has
been missing for many a long winter?
