Summary of last 24 hours to 6 pm on Tuesday, 9th March 2010

By midnight, the temperature had fallen to -4⁰C under cloudless skies but by morning it was back up to -1⁰C and cloud covered the sky. Fortunately, this was high and not very substantial, soon clearing to scattered and with it the temperature fairly shot up, reaching the day's high of 8⁰C just before 11 am. It has become rather cloudier as the afternoon has progressed and is now more or less overcast but with base above the fell tops. There's been little wind in general but it did pick up for a time as we walked around Buttermere and for a time I wished I taken an extra layer with me! Fortunately, by the time we got to the other side of the lake the wind had died away again. Another couple of fine, sunny days to come and though it will remain so through to the weekend, a brisker wind will give a significant wind-chill. (See forecast links above and at bottom of page)
