Friday 6th December – Tuesday 10th December

Hi all,

We’ve had a couple of wild and cold days but it’s all set to settle down again and become milder.

Friday will feel cold in the north-westerly wind but a lot calmer than Thursday. Apart from a very isolated wintry shower it will be generally dry with bright spells in the morning. Some light rain likely later. Highs of 4’C.

The weekend sees the weather return to a quieter theme with temperatures beginning to recover.

Saturday will feel less cold than Friday but more extensive cloud possible during the morning with some light and patchy rain. The afternoon should be a little better with some bright spells. Highs of 6’C.

Sunday looks generally cloudy with limited brightness. Some light rain or drizzle likely especially later on. Feeling milder with highs of 8’C.

Monday and Tuesday both look dry with quite a lot of cloud around, mainly on Monday but bright spells should eventually appear and become more widespread by Tuesday. It will be feeling quite mild for the time of year with highs even reaching 10’C by Tuesday.

Quick Update for Next Week

NEXT WEEK’S WEATHER

Monday: Cloudy and dry. Reasonably mild still. 8’C

Tuesday: Similar. Cloudy and dry but expecting light rain into the evening. Mild. 8’C

Wednesday: Light rain slowly spreads through the region. Cooler later. 7’C

Thursday: The change begins. Windy especially as the day goes on. Rain, heavy at times spreading south. Much colder air digs in and there is a chance the rain could turn to snow, especially on the higher ground but even to lower levels later. Icy and snow showers overnight giving a covering in places. 5’C

Friday: Bitterly cold with a keen strong northerly wind which will give a significant wind-chill. Some snow showers are expected which maybe heavy at times. These should ease away to our west later. 2’C but feeling like -5’C. Frosty and icy overnight.

Saturday: Sunny spells but still very cold. Winds easing so less of a wind-chill but a frosty start and evening. Odd isolated snow shower still possible. 4’C

Sunday-Monday: Dry with bright spells and starting to get milder again. 5-6’C

Thursday 28th November – Sunday 1st December

Hi,

As we end November we will see a cold and windy day on Friday but generally some milder days ahead.

Thursday will continue the recent theme of mainly cloudy weather with occassional drizzle or light rain likely and with fog on the hills. Mild like Wednesday with highs around 9’C.

Friday sees a brief change. Some rain will quickly pass through the region in the early hours followed by colder, showery conditions with a keen strong north or northwesterly wind. Some hail likely. Highs of 7’C and feeling cold in the wind.

The weekend looks generally quiet and dry with Saturday possibly the better day.

Saturday should see lighter winds and less showers than Friday. A day of bright spells across the region with any early showers easing away. Highs of 6’C.

Sunday after a possible bright start, will then be a cloudier day than Saturday. Apart from a risk of drizzle it should remain dry. Feeling milder again. Highs of 8’C.

As we head into December we remain with average temperatures but the computer models point towards a cold spell around the 6-7th of December. A long way off but something to keep my eye on.

Thursday 21st November – Sunday 24th November

Hi,

It now actually feels like late-November, as we undergo a cold spell of weather. However, the forecast looks much drier and slightly more settled after what was a wild Wednesday morning.

Thursday will be bright with sunny spells and the odd isolated wintry shower. Any showers will ease later. Chilly with highs of 6’C.

Friday will be dry and bright after a cold patchy-frost start. Another cold day ahead with light winds and highs of 5’C.

The weekend promises to be dry but with some frosts and an increasing risk of freezing fog.

Saturday will be bright with sunny spells but some areas may remain overcast after a misty or foggy start. Frost possible early and late. Highs of 5’C.

Sunday again will start cold with frost where skies have been clear the longest. There is also a higher risk of freezing fog.
Where fog lifts we should have bright spells but some fog may lift into low cloud. Highs of 6’C but much colder if fog persists.

The outlook suggests high pressure to stay in charge; keeping us settled and dry with the cold-theme continuing, giving some patchy fog and frost.

Thursday 14th November – Sunday 17th November

Hi,

We are now in mid-November and it looks like next week will see us feel the first chill of the approaching winter.

Thursday will be a windy day making it feel cold with a strong northwesterly across the region. Showers expected in the morning, easing away later. Highs of 8’C.

Friday will again be breezy and feeling cold after a chilly start. However, apart from a low shower risk early on it will be mainly dry with some bright spells in most areas. Highs of 9’C.

The weekend will feel a little milder.

Saturday could dawn a little misty or foggy then the day looks generally cloudy with the odd bright spell. Maybe patchy rain later on. Highs of 10’C.

Sunday will see any patchy rain clear through from the north and a cooler northwesterly wind will bring some brighter conditions. Highs of 9’C

Next week it turns colder, especially into Tuesday & Wednesday with northerly winds, overnight frosts and some wintry showers possible.

Some of the press are basically predicting a mini iceage (snigger). It will not be anything but a normal mid- to late-November cold snap that will bring frosts, snow showers to the our hills and some wintry showers to lower levels. So do not panic. We are looking at daytime temperatures of 4-5’C. So not exactly in the freezer!!

Thursday 7th November – Sunday 10th November

Hi all,

The next few days is looking like remaining wet at times which will keep a current record going; which so far stands at 26 days of consecutive measurable rainfall.

Thursday is set to be bright & breezy with occasional scattered showers drifting in from the west as the day progresses. Feeling cold in the wind. Highs of 10’C.

Friday will again see showers but this time more frequent and maybe merging at times. Breezy again and the wind making it feel cold. Highs of 9’C.

Again we head into a weekend with an unsettled and tricky outlook.

Saturday might see a dry start but showers spreading from the north-west on a chilly wind. Some showers maybe wintry on the highest hills. Turning a little colder into the evening. Highs of 9’C.

Sunday might start with some frost or even an ice risk after Saturday’s showers. This will soon clear and it is expected to turn wet & windy from the west gradually during the day. Winds increasing too. Highs of 8’C.

Looking into next week it starts unsettled but signs show that settled weather will try to build, to at last give us a break from the autumnal unsettled spell.

October 2013 Stats: Warmest: 18.1’C; Coldest: 3.8’C; Wettest Day: 14.0mm; Windiest: 33mph; Total Rainfall: 119.4mm.

Thursday 31st October – Sunday 3rd November

Hi,

Luckily we escaped the storm earlier this week but looking at this weekend it looks like we will be getting our fair share of very windy weather which has the potential to be stormy.

Thursday will see the cool theme continue with bright spells and showers. Some heavy with hail and thunder. A brisk south-westerly wind with highs of 11’C

Friday looks set to start with less showers and a little calmer but still cool. However it looks cloudier later with a threat of rain spreading in. Highs of 12’C.

The weekend sees a return to wet and very windy weather, spreading in from the Atlantic so unsettled and feeling cold on both days.

Expecting a day of rain at times on Saturday, clearing later to showers. Windier than the last few days and highs of 10’C.

Sunday will be windy or even very windy, with gales in parts and especially gusty in the frequent, heavy showers. Hail and thunder possible again. Highs of 10’C.

Next week looks to remain unsettled with showers or spells of rain at times with temperatures around normal after possibly a cold Monday and bonfire night.

Thursday 24th October – Sunday 27th October

Hi,

We are still in a pattern of unsettled weather and that looks set to stay until the end of October. Also there is something to keep our eye on for the start of next week.

Thursday will be a much better day than Wednesday. After a cold, misty and maybe foggy start the morning will be bright with sunny spells. More cloud as the day progresses but remaining dry. A little cooler and less windy. Highs of 13’C.

Cloud and the breeze will increase overnight and a wet Friday looks on the cards, especially in the morning with periods of rain and it will be windy. A bit brighter into the afternoon with some showers but still gusty and feeling a little milder. Highs of 15’C.

As we enter the weekend low pressure will remain in charge influencing the weather.

Saturday will be a showery with occassional bright spells. Some of the showers will be heavy. Cooler with westerly winds. Highs of 14’C.

Sunday sees the showers hanging around but quite scattered as the day goes on and they should die away later into the afternoon. Cool and breezy, with cloud thickening into the evening with rain later. Highs of 14’C.

There is a deep area of low pressure set to cross the UK Sunday night into Monday with high winds and a lot of rain. The location of this low is still not certain but areas could see 55-70mph winds. At the moment the Southern half of the UK looks most at risk but things could change. To keep up to date on this “storm” and your local weather, follow Jon, @ChadWeather on Twitter.

Thursday 10th October – Sunday 13th October

Hi,

Finally the above average temperatures and very mild feel to October has left us as we feel our first autumn chill.

Thursday will be a brighter day than Wednesday with sunny spells and just maybe the odd shower around. Despite the brightness it will be feeling cold especially in the strong north to north-easterly winds. Highs of only 10’C and cold overnight with a touch of ground frost in places.

Friday will start cold after probably the coldest night for over 4 months but the day should be dry with bright spells. Still feeling cold with a north-easterly breeze and just maybe a rogue shower to the east. Another cold night to follow. Highs of 11’C.

The weekend does promise to be mainly dry but increasingly cloudy and still with a keen wind making it feel cold.

Saturday dawns chilly and some sheltered parts may see some early mist or fog patches then a day of bright spells follows and generally dry across the region but possibly more cloudy later on. Highs of 12’C.

Sunday should be similar to Saturday but there is a chance that eastern areas are more cloudy with a threat of showery rain. Otherwise, bright spells, dry and feeling cold. Highs of 12’C.

Next week looks to remain cool with bright spells.

September 2013 Stats: Warmest: 23.8’C; Coldest: 6.3’C; Wettest Day: 14.6mm; Windiest: 39mph; Total Rainfall: 46.2mm.
