Currently 1042 in this part of South Cheshire, with thick mist/fog all day and definitely no sign of the sun, unlike Saturday. A weather warning for mist/fog for most of Cheshire with the possibility of fog, mist and ice making tomorrow's commute a nightmare for many.

Reading 1050.1hPa here.. tried to calibrate it the best I can to Exeter Airport's Met Office site etc.. which was also reading 1050.1hPa at midnight.

Kind of ironic that it has also turned cloudy!  Wasn't on the forecast and we are/were heading for the coldest night of winter at least so far

Currently 1044 in South Cheshire and no sign of it moving either way. Mist and fog of yesterday disappeared quickly after dark and a lovely sunny day here today.
