SEPTEMBER 2007
October 2007
1st - 7th
The month begins with HP to the WSW and a ridge extending eastwards, bringing fine and dry but often cloudy conditions. Light showers early morning of the 3rd., then continuing mostly bright with sunny periods with a brief warmer spell as more humid air arrives.
8th - 14th
More of the same as the UK remains largely under the influence of the mid Atlantic HP. Calm and dry with variable amounts of cloud and sunshine. Cold front sweeps down from the NW on the 14th but with no rainfall and making no difference to the weather conditions.
15th - 22nd
Situation over the UK changes subtly, but a weak ridge of HP to the S means periods of heavy rain in the NW from fronts continue to die out before reaching the SE corner, giving just short periods of light rain or showers from the 17th to 20th.
23rd - 30th
Passage of LP brings a northerly airsteam from the arctic seas and a drop in temperature. Cold front and trough on the 23rd brings some heavy rain in the early hours and mid-morning. More rain during the middle of the day on 28th and overnight on 29th.

‡ 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"
