Welcome to my weather blog. I produce two weather forecasts per week, normally Monday and Thursday evening, and also put links to any other interesting weather information, and crazy weather videos that I discover. The forecast is based on my expectations for the Reading area, UK. If you want a forecast for your area, please e-mail me or comment below the blog post.

Updated Weather Forecast - Thursday 15th March 2012

It was mistier and not as sunny this week as I was expecting - and temperatures suffered a bit too.

Time for a bit of rain:

Tonight will be cloudy with some mist and fog patches again developing, down to around 2'C.
Friday will be mostly cloudy, the odd spot of drizzle around, 10'C - a couple of degrees higher if the sun comes out for an hour in the early afternoon.  5'C overnight.
Saturday sees low pressure developing with an area of rain coming up from the south from morning onwards, it will be fairly heavy and 6-10 hours of continuous rain is quite possible.  The worst of the rain should clear around 6pm, give or take.  The band of rain won't be that wide, say around 100 miles, so go far enough east or west and you will stay dry.  A chilly 8'C in the rain and a touch of frost if the skies clear for long enough overnight, 0'C.
Sunday will be brighter but with a 50% chance of a couple of showers, particularly in the afternoon, 10'C perhaps - down to -2'C overnight with a frost.
Monday will start sunny but may cloud over later, dry, 11'C.  A frost is possible overnight.

Next week will be dry, with some sunshine, but overnight frosts and some patches of fog.

Temperatures should improve during the week and should end up above average for the time of year again at around 15'C by the weekend - far lower than I was originally hoping for next weekend however the high pressure looks to be having more of an easterly or south-easterly wind rather than southerly, and the continent ain't that warm yet.

But next weekend should be pleasant.  Certainly much nicer than this coming weekend.

Don't expect a repeat of April 2011 next month though.  I am expecting a fairly unsettled month, at least for the first half.
