Oh, where did that come from? Thick fog just this minute rolled in from the sea, suddenly went all cold and murky here at the Harbour area. That is a bit of a jarring change after having been gloriously sunny and warm all day.

A weird fog has just rolled in and is starting to make it this far inland !


Very unusual given the temperature was at 25c an hour ago.


22.2c now with a dewpoint now up to 19c.


Very sticky...my usual view of the town has dissapeared.


EDIT, getting dark with lights on !

Heard the fog horn and thought why the hell is that on, then noticed the Sea fog had rolled in (about 7pm) to obscure the castle from my study window.  The second hottest September day in my 9 year record.  Maxed at 25.8 at 1.30pm.  Hottest September day at this station remains the epic 21 September 2006 with 26.6c.

I notice a narrow band of intense storms over Nofolk these have given 14mm of rain in a short time.


Temp here down to 14.9c as the cooler air rushes in from the west

  It's certainly caught me by surprise.

18.7c and calm after a max here of 25.7c (hottest September day here too since 21st September 2006).

A pocket of humid air has obviously over ridden the relatively cool sea to create this event.


A noteworthy event and a huge switch in the matter of minutes.

 The fog has moved on and I can see stars as the low stratus breaks up.
