Some weather musings

It has seemed a bit damp and draughty here for the last few days.  

To deal with the dampness first.  The average rH (Humidity) on 4 February was 76% (minimum 62%) and on 5 February 78% (min 68%).  There was no rain until midnight 5 February since when we have had 8.2 mm.

The wind run on 4 February was 233 km with a peak gust of 46.7 kph.  That run was the 51st longest out of  721 observations since my records stated in February 2019.  It really started to howl on the 5th.  We got a run of 433 km with a peak gust of 59.7 kph.  That is the 3rd longest run I have recorded.  By 10 am on 6 Feb. the wind had calmed down to a run of 8km in the last hour (although the cumulative run from midnight to 10am was quite impressive at 195 km (which would be in 86th position for an entire day).

One small number from this period is the temperature range over 5 February.  This was 4.3C from a low of 22.4C to a high of 26.7C.  That should probably be "smallish" number as there are 837 days with a small temperature range!
