At the midpoint of the month we\u2019re not doing too badly as far as the weather is concerned. It could certainly have been much worse. After that mildest January day on the first of the month we\u2019ve had enough cold nights to bring the average temperature down to almost the average for this time in January. As it stands we are still a little bit above average.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The decent weather is due to the predominance of high pressure bringing mostly settled weather rather than low pressure systems which usually bring cloud and rain. So far we\u2019ve had very little rain this month with just 15.0mm or a little over 0.5ins.<\/span><\/p>

I\u2019ve a bit more to add regarding the volcanic eruption off the coast of Tonga. I posted that my weather station had picked up a pressure wave on Saturday evening. Having seen a few more posts about this it would now seem that the pressure wave that arrived on Saturday evening had come the short way around the earth from the Pacific Ocean.<\/span><\/p>

I\u2019ve redone the pressure chart and there\u2019s another noticeable disturbance in the pattern in the early hours of Sunday morning.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

This is from the pressure wave that travelled the long way around the earth from the Pacific Ocean. The two disturbances are circled on the pressure chart. The forces of nature are truly amazing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
