Interesting shopping trip to Eastbourne wit hsome interesting micro climate effects. Raining when we left Eastbourne Asda and +1 degree
About 2 miles inland heading North, still raining, very light Southerly wind. Temp 0 degrees
10 miles inland heading West towards Halland in busy traffic, still cloudy, nill wind but dry, -1 degree.
The moment we turned South off the main road and onto our quiet country lane the temperature dropped back to -4
I suspect we're now in a slightly milder airmass here with a cold pool underneath up to maybe as little as tree top height. Where there's lots of traffic on the main road, the really cold air at ground level is being mixed out with the slightly milder air above.
Where I live, 10 miles inland, still on the flat and same altitude as the main road, but with no wind or mixing, it's still bitterly cold.
Would be interesting to know what the temperature currently is higher up locally, such as in Heathfield or Hadlow Down?
I'm between Ringmer and Uckfield.
