Frost tonight?

Post by Devil »

Where we are may not be the same as where you are but, nevertheless, have a look at my forecast for tonight and tomorrow night:

Tonight: Clear. Low -3°C. Wind chill ranging from -6 to -2. Wind north-northeast around 5 m/s, gusting to 10 m/s, in the evening, becoming west-northwest around 3 m/s after midnight.

Thursday night: Clear, with scattered light frost possible. Low -2°C. Wind west-northwest around 1 m/s.

If this forecast holds, as will probably happen, then we are in for a chilly night and I think that this will apply to the whole of Cyprus with the wind blowing hard from the Anatolian mountains. As an approximation, to interpret these figures, add +1° to +1.5° C to bring it down to sea level and add the same again in coastal areas. Notwithstanding, even if there is no frost where you are, it will still be pretty chilly.

I'll be interested to see the effect of my new house insulation in conditions of low temperature and high wind.

We have had the heating on 3 times today where usually it would be twice. But it is a nice 21.5c in the lounge at the moment ..

Just spoken to my friend in Kathikas, it's snowing there.

The temperature did not go down to the expected negative figures last night, where I am. The cold front over Turkey passed a little bit faster than calculated. In fact it bottomed at 0.2° C, here, which is a little chilly by my standards. It'll be chilly again tonight but perhaps a little warmer, increasing over the weekend when we can expect some rain and possibly snow in the mountains.
