Calm before the storm.
18th December 2019
Today wasn’t quite what I expected, no sunny blue skies it was pretty much like yesterday apart from the wind direction. Light winds were from a South-Easterly direction, cloud covered skies, mainly dry with the freezing at around 650 metres.
Weather forecast: A spell of persistent rain and snow this evening the snow initially falling to 500 metres accompanied by gale force Southerly winds but soon becoming confined to roughly 900 metres as the freezing level rises above the summits. Then becoming mainly dry overnight and through tomorrow with freezing levels around the highest summits leading to a thaw at lower elevations.
