This air is of mid-Atlantic origin and has turned SE'wards over the UK. In old terminology it's considerably closer to Tropical Maritime than Polar Maritime. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

You can't call it a NW airmass simply because the wind is NW'ly. I just *did*.  This air is of mid-Atlantic origin and has turned SE'wards over the UK. In old terminology it's considerably closer to Tropical Maritime than Polar Maritime. Shouldn't it have cooled considerably by the time it ran right around that big high, though? BTW, reached 28C today, with an 18C dewpoint. Fortunately I'm still acclimatised from the previous hot weather, so it didn't feel too bad. -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham (change 'invalid83261' to 'blueyonder' to email me) |
