AUGUST 2007
September 2007
1st - 7th
Ridging HP to the S and ex Tropical Storm Chantal to NNW allows importing of warm tropical maritime flow with plenty of sunshine. Unbroken sunshine on the 4th and most of 5th. Thundery showers evening of 7th.
8th - 13th
The ridge of HP starts to decline away to the SW although the weather remains dry and bright. Rather more cloud than during the week before.
14th - 23rd
A complex LP approaches the UK on the 14th from the W, bringing drizzle and very humid maritime air from mid-morning and heavier rain during the evening. An unsettled and windy period: rain early morning of 15th and moderate showers afternoon of 16th. Less windy but dull on 17th with rain during evening, and 18th with rain in the morning. Continuing cloudy or overcast and very dull in the SE with outbreaks of rain as the LP moves away very slowly though the rest of the country enjoyes a fine and warm spell.
24th - 31st
HP finally extends its influence over the east of the UK giving warm weather with long sunny periods from the 25th to the 27th. Increasing cloud from the 28th onwards.

‡ SUN: Sunshine hours are calculated approximately and solely from solar radiation readings, but note that the solar sensor's exposure to sunshine is limited. The sensor receives only 75% of total possible sunshine exposure this month. There is no allowance for sunshine by visual observation only, so the figures above can be very significantly less than the actual daily sunshine duration.
THW = Shaded Heat Index calculated with cooling/warming effect of wind and humidity to give an apparent temperature.
THSW = Unshaded Heat Index calculated with cooling/warming effect of wind, humidity and full direct sunshine to give an apparent temperature.
EVAPO-TRANSPIRATION is drying effect due to sun and wind, and is equivalent to "negative rainfall"
