"Summary

A flabby area of low pressure over southern europe will drift slowly
northwards, bringing changeable conditions to the United Kingdom during
the next few days, with eastern coasts becoming very murky during
Saturday and Sunday."


We all know what flabby means. Over weight as I understand.
This particular low pressure needs to go to Slimming World to shape up and give us some proper weather.

I did notice on the Spotlight SW forecast yesterday that 'Low pressure was going to build across the country'.

At least we've lost the strong ESE of 2 or 3 days back. Slack low pressure when you're sticking out into the cold Atlantic tends to mean we miss the rain. (Famous last words) Hazy sunshine currently & feeling quite warm in near still conditions & 15C. https://www.aspects-holidays.co.uk/webcams/mousehole

Every day from 10th-16th has seen a maximum between 15C & 17C, (probably ideal for Norman!) today looks like being no exception. Minimums not low here, last 5 nights 11.4, 11.0, 11.2, 11.6, 8.0C.

I'm old enough to remember when the prevailing wind was south westerly.
