Still very cold - freezing. Wish this high pressure'd piss off.

'A very anticyclonic month, particularly from the 11th on' [...]

January 31st. Still anticyclonic gloom, so haven't had a chance to look at the current sunspot which apparently is large enough to see with the naked eye - people've seen it through mist etc.

February 1st. Fog.

February 2nd. Dull, foggy day, but late on the pressure dropped, the fog cleared and the wind got up. A change in the weather at last!

February 3rd. Weather had completely changed when I woke up. Even the Sun came out.
