Default Much more changeable than expected

Long term forecasts suggested a long anticyclonic period from about
now but the weather even down here in the far south can only be
described as changeable - seems they overestimated pressure for the
whole of this week by about 10mb. Ironically the "big" low at the
beginning of last week provided better conditions - the 13th and 14th
were mostly sunny barring the odd short lived downpour.

But this supposedly "anticyclonic" spell, interrupted only by "weak"
fronts..

Friday 17th: drizzle or moderate rain practically all day
Saturday 18th: rained significantly for two hours early afternoon
Sunday 19th: occasional sun but with frequent dark, heavy cloud (if
dry)
Monday 20th: mostly dry but dull, noticeable rain in afternoon
