Two-thirds of the way through winter. When will snow return? – Thursday 1st February 2024 – Sunday 4th February 2024

Hi all,

Another winter month completes today and after a cold start it’s ended up being the norm; mild and occasionally wet.

January 2024 saw the warmest/mildest day I’ve ever recorded in a January.
A cold first-half of January but a milder second-half.
Quite a windy month especially around the named-storms.
At least we had a decent dry spell in the month. The average for the month is 110mm. We’ll end it around the 109mm mark. So yes, pretty much average.

Thursday: A brief ridge of high pressure means a settled day. There will be some bright or sunny spells knocking around but these will tend to be quite hazy. Temperatures will be just a little bit above average but still feeling a little cool. Max 8°C Min 4°C

Friday: A cloudy day with the cloud thick enough to produce some light rain or drizzle and low-cloud on the hills. We’re introducing southwesterly winds which will be very moist and bring with it some very mild air. Max 13°C Min 10°C

Much milder than average after Thursday, especially so on Friday.

Weekend: Mild with the chance of rain.

Saturday: Generally overcast with a weakening band of rain moving south. Mild and windy. Max 12°C Min 8°C

Sunday: Very little change as the band of patchy rain stalls across the region. Not much brightness expected, windy and still mild. Max 12°C Min 7°C

Outlook: Little change. We will stay on the mild side of the Jet Stream. Mostly cloudy with a mild southwesterly airflow bringing patchy rain or drizzle. Perhaps a little more unsettled towards the end of the week. Then, a little cooler from the north as we approach the 10th of February. The wait for our next proper cold spell goes on.

The Jet Stream will be centred across Northern parts of the UK. So we’re on the milder side and will flirt with rain at times for the first half of next week.
More turbulent towards the end of next week.
