Week 5: 1st November 2018

There was a 2 week gap between these readings and the last, as we could not take readings last week because it was half term.

Over the 2 week period there was not as much rainfall as what would be expected at this time of year.

In site 1 we recorded 70mm of rainfall of the two week period, and a southernly wind. This means that there was an average of 35mm per week, however we do not know how this was distributed. In site 1, we also recorded the air pressure, and achieved a reading of 1000.5mb. We compared this to a synoptic chart on the MWIS site, and found our reading to be accurate. We also recorded the temperature, and found it to be 14.6°C

In site 2 we recorded 80mm of rainfall over the two weeks and a north-easterly wind. This means that there was an average of 40mm of rainfall per week, but again, we do not know how this was distributed.

Finally, in site 3 we recorded 110mm of rainfall, but there was no wind at the time. the average amount of rain per week was 55mm.

We found the sky to be covered by a nimbostratus cloud.
