177: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 12.04.2007

The week started cloudy at times with occasional showers and almost all of the rainfall being observed during the first part of the week.

178: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 29.03.2007

A typical week in summer with lots of sunshine and only one or two showers, mainly Wednesday night when the Residency measured 6mm.

179: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 15.03.2007

A glorious week’s weather with a good deal of unbroken sunshine culminating in a scorching afternoon temperature of 32.7 C on Saturday in Georgetown..

180: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 01.03.2007

ASCENSION: - Noticeably cloudier on several afternoons and typically with the odd overnight shower.

181: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 15.02.2007

A generally fine and hot week, although both Thursday and Sunday saw some unseasonable weather more akin to October. Frequent drizzly showers deposited over an inch of rain over Green Mountain and even Georgetown saw nearly a centimetre.

182: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 01.02.2007

Despite a couple of cloudy days over the Island there was very little measurable rainfall, apart from the very top of Green Mountain. Wednesday and Sunday saw plenty of blue skies and the temperature pushing over 30 C.

183: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 18.01.2007

There is still far too much cloud for my liking given it is supposed to be the height of summer and the continual occurrence of showers is somewhat disappointing. Let’s hope this coming week is better!

184: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 04.01.2007

A fairly dry week, only a trace of rain measured at the airhead and Travellers only mustered 0.1 mm. Monday was by far the cloudiest day,

185: Apology - Ascension (Met Office) - 30.11.2006

Dear readers of the Islander. I would like to apologise unreservedly if the "firework" joke I included in my Metchat article last week caused anyone any offence.

186: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 30.11.2006

A fine start and end to the week but a miserable middle, especially the higher up the mountain you went with the Residency having over 50 millimetres, possibly the second wettest week this year there?

187: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 09.11.2006

ASCENSION:A showery start to the week, then the sun came out on Wednesday with an increase in the wind.

190: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 12.10.2006

A rather cloudy and miserable start to the week with most of the rain falling during this period.

192: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 15.06.2006

A very dry and sunny start to June with little or no rainfall reported across the Island.

193: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 01.06.2006

Ascension saw another fine and sunny week for the most part, with the only real exceptions to the rule being Friday night and Saturday evening, when some heavy showers gave any weekend revellers a good dousing.

194: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 18.05.2006

A few light showers at the beginning of the week, then mainly dry until Saturday night and Sunday morning when showers became more frequent for a time across the Island.

195: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 04.05.2006

We are coming to the end of the hot season now, and it should gradually become a little cooler over the next few months. Some sharp showers have again affected the island this week,

196: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 20.04.2006

It was a lovely Easter weekend, with plenty of sunshine. Mostly dry too, although a few showers brought about a millimetre of rain during early Saturday morning.

197: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 06.04.2006

There was very little rain at the airhead last week, although a few showers affected a clear viewing of the solar eclipse during Wednesday morning, especially at Travellers Hill.

198: The Met Office Weather Report - Ascension (Met Office) - 23.03.2006

The dry spell certainly ended abruptly on Sunday,
