'An anticyclone is persisting over southern Scandinavia
with pressure low to the southwest of the British Isles. Weather will
continue dull in most districts, with occasional slight snow, but a
further period of more continuous snow, mainly slight, will affect the
southeast of England during the period. There will be some local fair
periods in sheltered western districts. It will continue very cold with
frost day and night' At 0600 hours-East to north-easterly airstream
with winds to F6 on eastern coasts of England and Ireland. Generally
cloudy in eastern areas and over Ireland. Lowest temperature is 21°F
(-6.1°C) at Aberporth (W.Wales) and Renfrew-both of which report
clear skies.Highest temperature is 42°F (5.6°C) from Valentia
and Roches Point in S.Ireland. Overnight minima-lowest value is 15°F
(-9.4°C) at Finningley and the highest 39°F(3.9°C) at Valentia
and Roches Point. Previous day's maxima-lowest value Little Rissington
on 28°F (-2.2°C) and highest Scilly on 44°F (6.7°C)
Precipitation-largely dry except for S.Ireland (Roches Point 4mm) Snow
