Friday morning. A line of storms moves up the Channel at sunrise.

Weak high pressure to the west leaves us under a northerly airflow
bringing the chance of wintry weather.

More reminiscent of February than January...

Pussy willow and bluebells already.

This graph below shows autumn rainfall. As you can see, it has been a very dry one this year
and December has done little to make up for it. The 3-yr moving average line shows that
we've been here before with 3 dry autumns in 2003,4 & 5. These years were also followed
by fairly dry winters.

There's a lot of talk of years getting warmer and warmer. The graph below shows how
Staplefield's mean temps have varied over the last five years.

2011 was mild and has reversed the downward trend of the last two.

Staplefield Anorak is a privately run not-for-profit website.

Occasional attempts are made to forecast the weather for certain local events. It should be noted that my only qualification for this is a slightly unhealthy interest in the weather, and in rain in particular.

Actual weather is reported every 10 minutes from an automatic Davis Weatherstation in my garden in Staplefield. It is not sited very scientifically and is sheltered from the west and northwest, which leads to wind reports which may not represent those experienced elsewhere in the village. The garden is approximately 300ft (91m) above sea level.
Other readings should be fairly accurate, although they should not be relied on for anything more than general interest.

Other pages on the website depict recent weather graphically, the level of water in my well (which may give some indication of groundwater levels), a photographs page, which is updated every few days, and a village noticeboard where any items of local interest can be posted.

I always welcome feedback, so please use the contact me link if you would like anything added, or removed, from the site, or to send in any local photograph. I also welcome comments, praise, quotes and weather-related jokes, funny or not.
