Over the past hour the temperature has dropped like a stone and is
currently -1.6C London Stansted reporting -1C as well. Never had this kind of temperature this early in the evening before. Tom Chelmsford, Essex (106m) |

Hi Tom, do you mean in this spell? I've only got 0.6C at 18.40 here in the
south of the county. I was hoping for a frost to get this blooming ground temperature down. The water on the cars keeps freezing but the water on the ground doesn't. Conduction faster from metal I guess, plus no underground electric blanket. I think the high (100%) humidity last night also stopped any evaporative cooling. Dave "Tom" wrote in message .. .

Good to hear that Tom, as my surface wind is north. Been 0.8°c but
just had another light shower and back upto 1.2°c. Of course with an air temp of 1°c any time with a clear sky will freeze the gound, if it's not below freezing already, so any snow tonight should settle, unless the temp rises during precipitation like it did last night. We can't realy complain, but being late February the sunl was always going to get a hold of the temperature during the day, even so my 4.6°c max today is quite modest for late February all the same. So one hour with a clear sky is needed here than all hell can break loose. Although the next couple of days look very interesting with that low over north France, I fear for most low lying area it will been sleet or rain as the dew points will rise, but if the precipitation is heavy enough that can help drop the temperature. Although next week has another cold plunge apart from morning dustings it won't stick around as we head into March. I always feel that a good snowfall that melts on impact is a waste of time. Given a frosty ground, just a couple of light showers can change the whole look of the landscape into a winter wonderland. I quoted that last bit from our local paper who seemed to think it was a winter wonderland in Essex this morning ??? Finished typing 0.8° air now, so groud will be below I recons And by the way "Come on you Blues" Keith (Southend) *********************** Weather Home & Abroad http://www.southendweather.net On Tue, 22 Feb 2005 18:41:46 GMT, "Dave.C" wrote: Hi Tom, do you mean in this spell?

Hi Tom, do you mean in this spell? I've only got 0.6C at 18.40 here in the
south of the county. It's very rare that the temperature goes below freezing here, I guess because of the closeness of the Sea. Normally cools down quick early evening but never quite goes sub-zero. Last time it was subzero before dusk was 25th Dec 2001 or 2002 IIRC. Current temperatures from around the county (19:20) Danbury: -0.4C Epping: 0.0C Colchester: 0.4C Witham: 0.8C Benfleet: 0.9C Southend: 1.1C Mayland: 1.3C Wickford: 1.5C The water on the cars keeps freezing but the water on the ground doesn't Ground temp is +0.1C here at the moment, will be icy in the morning. And it's starting to snow again. Tom Chelmsford, Essex (106m) |
