[b]Headline: Fairly dry and mild with some fog[/b]
A mostly dry week gone for the Midlands, but still wet weather to start and end the week here in west Wales giving one and a half inches in total. Rather cool, but never cold and with a few slight frosts too. Quite a lot of dry weather in the week ahead, especially for the Midlands once more, with west Wales more likely to see some rain at times. No day has reached the early November average of 12c thus far at Llanwnnen, so a fairly mild week
I just thought I would give you all a quick update on what's going on with the good olde uni application..
Since I found this place it has felt like home, and I want to show you how things stand...
So ladies, gentlemen and weather boffins here is how I am getting on...

A cool, wet week gone, especially for west Wales, with well over 2 inches falling at Llanwnnen. There has even been a little sleet and wet snow in the showers, along with hail, thunder and lightning for some! A cool week too, on Thursday temperatures for many did not better 8c. This week will be somewhat drier, still some rain on some of the days but not all, and with some fairly decent dry interludes
Here was my forecast for October 2012:
[quote]October 2012 will start off changeable with low pressure dominating, but high pressure over the Azores and mid-Atlantic will often influence our weather, particularly around the middle of the month.
After a showery spell during the first five days of October, with some longer outbreaks of rain on the 2nd, the weather will dry up from the west on the 5th/6th as a ridge of high pressure pushes in from the west. The night of the 6th/7th is expected
[b]Headline: Cool with spells of rain, heavy at times mid week onwards, especially over west Wales[/b]
West Wales experienced some warm Autumn sunny intervals on Wednesday with highs of 17c here - it may well be the last time it gets this mild until next Spring. The Midlands was also in the very mild air, but never got above 14c last week, the NE breeze coming off the North Sea kept it cloudy and sometimes misty with drizzle. However, we all experienced very mild nights staying above 11c u
17th October: Some snow fell in Altnaharra and Aviemore as precipitation arrived from the SW.
25th-27th October: Widespread snow showers in northern, eastern Scotland and northern and eastern England, depths of a couple of cm in places and up to 5 to 7cm in parts of Aberdeenshire. Snowfall led to motorists being urged to drive with extreme caution around Aberdeen later on the 26th, with particularly bad conditions on the A90. A number of routes in the Grampian area were affected by snow.

It's been 4 weeks since the last update and we have seen an interesting end to October a lot colder than expected.
[b]Rainfall,[/b]
November: Below average for Scotland and Ireland but average for England and Wales.
December: Across Northern Scotland slightly above average and for the South West of England slightly below. Elsewhere looks average.
Friday 26th October - Light snow shower from the north - No lying snow
Saturday 3rd November - Light shower from the west early in the morning - No lying snow
Sunday 2nd December - Frontal snowfall during the evening coming from the west - Lying snow of 3cm

Albeit a couple of blustery showers so far, although overnight looks quite promising especially into the early hours. I'm quite pleased with myself because I flagged this up on the gulberwick weather website and FB page a week ago and issued a Yellow Alert on Monday (the Met office have followed suit today). It's always nice to get one up on the experts, especially will all the gear at their disposal!

Looks like we could be in for our first cold snap of the winter. From Wednesday evening things are set to turn much colder up here with wintry showers turning to snow on Thursday. That combined with strong winds could make things quite interesting, particularly on Friday when it looks like the showers could be more persistent and heavier. Not that its unusual to get snow in Shetland in October. We've had lying snow last week in October for 3 of the past 4 years now. The good news is that althoug

Quite a wet week gone, 2 inches of rain for Llanwnnen, although under an inch for Coventry. Temperatures around the average last week, each day reaching between 12 and 15c here, although the Midlands reached a mild 16c on Wednesday and Thursday, while parts of west Wales also managed 16c on Saturday (except the Lampeter area!). Even warmer into the new week as we get a drag of very mild Cont

The Lampeter area still has not reached 60f (16c) this October which is most unusual, a very cool start to the month - last year we reached almost 80f (27c) on the October 1st! Localised flooding for parts of Wales last Thursday, including Cardigan where over an inch of rain fell during the afternoon. The Aberystwyth area had almost an inch falling from frequent heavy showers on Saturday.

This weekend's dry weather has been welcome, after rain falling on every day for almost 2 weeks here in west Wales. The Midlands on the other hand had a reasonably dry week until Thursday. A cool start to October, following on from the coolest September for almost 20 years. No real warmth again in the coming week, although as we progress through October we should not expect this really, as Summer rapidly recede
[quote]High pressure will be dominant over central and northern Europe during the first half of September, which will bring plenty of warm dry sunny weather to most of southern and central Britain, although Scotland and Ireland will always be more prone to banks of cloud. During the second half of the month, low pressure will take up residence to the west of the British Isles giving us a changeable but rather warm south-westerly type.

A cool, even very cool week gone, on both last Sunday and Tuesday temperatures stayed below 11c here at Llanwnnen, 6c below the late September average figure. A wet week too, many of us getting close to 2 inches of rain, although our areas much less affected than the parts of northern England and Wales which saw 4 to 6 inches and flooding. All this rain has still failed to bring us up to the monthly average of 4 in

It certainly has been a while since I wrote in here. The last year has been a very busy one for me and it's meant I haven't spent anywhere near as much time on here as I used to.

[font=verdana, sans-serif]Last week's guide underestimated the showers that streamed off Cardigan Bay into Ceredigion from Monday to Wednesday and which gave a quarter of an inch of rain at Llanwnnen during this period.

As anticipated rainfall amounts during the past week were small in spite of the rather unsettled weather pattern. Rainfall totals for the first half of September just.4mm for Coventry and 14mm here at Llanwnnen - so a very dry month to date (why not this during Summer!). Last weeks guide bore hope for a fine and warm spell from this weekend, however this has not really materialised (especially here in west Wales!). Weather foreca

A virtually bone dry week just gone for a change, and a warm one too. Temperatures reached 25c in Warwickshire and 22c at Llanwnnen, very respectable levels now we are into September. Sunday is the day of changeover to cooler and more unsettled conditions that will predominate in the coming week. Occasional rain, although not with especially large amounts, along with
Here was the August 2012 forecast:
[quote]August will complete a full hat-trick of cool unsettled summer months, although the first third of the month will continue on from late July in the sense of offering more in the way of "summery" weather.
A slow-moving low pressure area will continue to drift eastwards across the British Isles between the 2nd and 6th of the month, but the weather will be rather brighter and warmer than we've seen during most recent low pressure spells. Frontal activi

Some Summer...the wettest for 100 years for England and Wales overall -1912 being the wettest on record. Llanwnnen had a Summer rainfall total just short of 20 inches, so an exceptionally wet, dull and quite cool Summer. August has been the warmest month but this again tarnished by all the rain, over 6 inches falling at Llanwnnen. No spectacular heat all Summer really, Llanwnnen scraped 80f on the 10th August.
