Warsash Spring Series- Another sunny day but not as warm

SYNOPTIC SITUATION
High pressure dominates the area maintaining a gentle ENE airflow over the Solent
As temperatures increase expect this breeze to fade as a sea breeze attempts to develop

Air temperature: 15-16 Celsius

Weather:: Initially clear skies with cumulus developing

KEY POINTS
- Cumulus clouds will make the wind patchy
- decaying NE will hold longer along the shore
- developing sea breeze will be stronger along the shore
